Apparently he had the same problem with Meat's vocal tracks while they were producing Bat 2. But he stuck with the project and used different studio tricks (like taking different bits from different takes and making up a "good vocal track"). He must have been in a different place when he quit the Dead Ringer project. By the time they started work on Bat 2, he must have really wanted to put out a hit record because he overcame the vocal-hurdle (although perhaps Meat's voice was in even worse shape during the making of Dead Ringer - Meat said something on one of the documentaries about a psychosematic problem which made him unable to sing). Whatever the case, I do feel that Meat owes his best vocal Grammy for Anything For Love to Jim and the brilliant way he produced in the studio. I'm not sure about the States but Anything For Love was the best selling UK single in 1993 and Bat 2 was the best selling UK album of the same year. Who would have thought that Jim had to work so hard to get the vocals right? | |
