Some of the depth and bass was taken out of the mix to achieve the sound separation and kind of crystalize the sound, if that makes any sense. There is also lots and lots of echo in there which is sometimes not kind to some voices. The voice wasn't as full sounding as it could have been in order to achieve the clean clean sound. Fortunately he still had more than enough depth to his voice to get away with it. Engineering is a balancing act, and sometimes to achieve one goal you have to let something else slide a bit.
Having never had that one on vinyl I wonder how clean it sounded on a brand new album?
