He used the doubling and "stereo pair" technique. Every vocal track on Gerry's records were actually 4 vocal tracks going on. The stereo pair involved 2 condenser studio mikes set at a 90 degree angle. This allowed the engineer to pan the the 2 tracks to any position in the mix. Gerry then doubled the vocal with the same technique. With pre and post compression and expansion and the EQ on the final mix there was no need for any reverb on the vocal track. That is why the positioning of the vocal was so brilliant and a unique sound on Gerry's vocal. IMVHO ???
