We are a business, and you do a little of what you think's right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums.
We've recorded over our voices once and double the harmonies, make them thick. The Four Freshmen do that.
I mean it shouldn't hang you up emotionally if your record fails.
Before I joined The Beach Boys, I was working at Columbia Records as a producer, and saw The Byrds come in and do their first overdub before Terry even met them.
