The story is slightly reframed from a broad retrospective on Lanois-era Dylan sessions to a more specific emphasis on Oh Mercy as a 1989 creative renewal. The current version also softens the unresolved-track angle into a broader point that omitted songs and production choices still shape the album’s later critical assessment.

The update mainly reframes the story around Daniel Lanois’s recollections and later interpretive writing, rather than adding new session-era developments. It also sharpens the unresolved nature of the track-selection question around Series of Dreams and distinguishes technical recollection from later critical readings.
