Here I have two near-identical mixes of the same song.  One of them has the vocals sung as a harmony, the other has the backup track switched off so it has just the lead vocals.
Alternatively, I could forget the whole thing and do a fully instrumental version.

So far I've asked three people - one said "solo", one said "duet" and the other hasn't replied.  Hence the poll.

Here are the recordings:

I'm hoping to mix the final album next weekend, so some kind of consensus by then would be handy.

I think the solo sounds clearer.

The vocals on the duet kinda blur together in places, and make it difficult to hear the lyrics clearly.

I haven't replied cause i've been a bit busy. I'll do it in a bit, though.

Thanks.  You may as well post it here now, when you have...

I prefer the Solo version. The duet sounds cluttered, and making it a instrumental would probably be a bad idea, based on the song structure.

I agree. The solo sounds a lot clearer. Mind you, I am a sucker for a good instrumental track.

Well, you're in luck.  The second side is almost entirely instrumentals, including the 9-minute A Dream of Fire and Ice, which I don't believe I have revealed yet.

The first side, Three Little Pigs, doesn't have any pure instrumentals, though the overture only has a short vocal segment about mid-way through.

I agree with the Solo being very nice for the same reasons as the others. 

I'm also very fond of instrumentals so I look forward to those songs from the new album.      :januscat
