Dusted is the debut album by the alternative rock band the Gin Blossoms.[2] It was released through San Jacinto Records, a small independent label as a 12-song tape and record in 1989.
Seven of the songs on this album were re-recorded by the band after they signed to A&M Records. "Keli Richards" and "Angels Tonight" were re-recorded and included on the 1991 EP Up and Crumbling. "Hey Jealousy", "Found Out About You", "Cajun Song", and "Lost Horizons" were re-recorded and included on Gin Blossoms' 1992 album, New Miserable Experience. "Idiot Summer" was re-recorded during the sessions for New Miserable Experience but was not released until it was in the 1993 movie, Wayne's World 2. The song was also a B-side on the original single release for "Follow You Down" and can now be found on streaming services both on the Til I Hear It from You EP as well as the Deluxe Edition reissue of New Miserable Experience.
The album in general has a faster tempo and a less produced sound than New Miserable Experience.
