    John Hanlon has posted some background info on NYA on the Mirror Ball reissue:

    “Neil and I determined that four of the songs on the original Mirror Ball album master analog tapes were in fact mixed to digital DAT tapes and then transferred to the analog master ½” tapes many moons ago such that the first release of the album in June 1995 contains those four digital sourced mixes.

    This probably happened as a result of Neil and Brendan O’Brian (his producer) deciding that the feel of the DAT mix, be it rough or final, was superior to the first tape mix of those four songs. And those four were “I’m The Ocean”, “Big Green Country”, “Truth Be Known” and “Throw Your Hatred Down”. 

    Since the other seven songs were mixed to tape, it was decided to have an “All Analog Original” re-release and consequently Neil asked me to remix from the original 2” 24 track tapes these four (previously digital format) songs to the same ½” format 30ips audio tape that the rest of the masters sat on.

    This was done so that when we mastered the Mirror Ball album for the ORS boxed set of albums it could have all its audio be from analog mixes right to the lathe without ever having gone to any digital format.

    The ORS boxed set of Harvest Moon, Unplugged, Sleeps With Angels and Mirror Ball was released in October 2025. The so-called breakout versions will be released soon. Both the standalone and box set version of Mirror Ball have the exact same content ie; my analog remixes of those four songs listed above.

    I trust this will clarify any questions regarding this version of Mirror Ball.”
