In exploring multi-track recordings, I listened to Les Paul's cover of "Lover."As the album art showcases, Paul played the eight different parts to the song on his electric guitar. The song was recorded in his garage on acetate discs, in layered tracks, not parallel ones. The piece is really upbeat, but after watch a few of the old Listerine sponsored shows with him and his wife/collaborator Mary, this first song of his captured as a multi-track recording fits Paul perfectly.

Lover
I also came across a great little documentary on him: Les Paul - Chasing Sound
