I think I had also meant to include Safety in Numbers for the same reasons, but it ended up slipping my mind. Maybe I thought it would get its own separate release somewhere? But I have no idea when or where that might be.

So, last night I finally got around to remastering the original version and adding it to Deadnames, so if you already bought that album digitally, you should now be able to redownload it and get the updated audio.

The CD version was already at pretty close to the maximum length of a CD, and adding Safety in Numbers to that pushed it way over, so the CD version that’s available now is missing the two hidden tracks in favor of Safety in Numbers. I only know of one person who actually has a physical copy of Deadnames other than myself, so I don’t think that impacts anyone.

But anyway, updating the files on my Ko-Fi shop made me also realize that Bandcrash had a stupid bug that was preventing the MP3 files from getting the cover art tags (which is something I really should have had a proper automated test for, but the state of that code’s tests is kinda abysmal). So I’ve now reuploaded all of the MP3 versions to Ko-Fi and itch.io, so in case anyone’s actually bought any of my albums there, you’ll want to redownload the MP3 version from the respective library.

This also wreaks havoc with the Musicbrainz metadata! I’ve submitted some updates there although who knows how long it’ll take to get accepted.

Anyway. This whole thing affects, like, ten people. But I figured I’d post about it so people would know.
