New vocals and production work on a new Dusty Mirror remaster yesterday and today. There is a stark improvement in the vocals, which is my key reason for updating the album, though other aspects like balancing and limiting, backing vocal grouping, and vocal ducking and clarity, have also improved substantially since 2020.
The vocals of the first version are/were adequate for several key tracks, like Since You Kicked Me Out, Except For The Hatred, Norman Bates, but even there the new versions are a clear step up in musicality and consistency; as well as taking me hardly any time or effort by comparison. Vocals on some of the old tracks were poor or strange or inconsistent. All will benefit from new versions.
