There was a lot of processing involved, as the engineer who recorded this project (Read: Not We-Verb staff) failed to use a pop filter. This caused several soft 'pops' and 'clicks' to infiltrate all of the lead and harmony vocal tracks.

For those of you interested in audio restoration and can't afford the sexily efficient CEDAR algorithms, I highly recommend RX. It allowed for a smooth removal of the offending sounds without leaving artifacts on the original vocal track.
