Any idea what the reverb technique is on this?

There's a research paper here which mentions the author's email about how the reverb was constructed

It's "Shout" by Johnny O'Keefe (1959).

I have a feeling that it combines plate reverb with a mic in a tiled washroom.

Ahh yes. The old record in the bathroom technique. There are some reflections that are only possible when bouncing audio waves off plumbing fixtures...

HAHA so funny. every youtuber swears by it. i honestly feel like the sound in a bathroom is kina dead at times. i have cathedral ceilings in my dining room, i can get a nice natural reverb in there.
 
I like to sing in to a mic that's placed inside a World War II soldiers helmet, and plug it in to an old Sure P.A. with the reverb all the way up...

Then I mic the p.a. tower in a tiled bathroom (YES it has valted ceilings) leaving the mic deep in the sink.

That gives me ALMOST as much reverb as 1960's recordings played on AM radio of the 1960's (my word that sounded like crap) - how I loved FM when I first heard it!

Reverb is just soooooo overdone sometimes, huh?
