Further:
I always viewed Jim as the 'link' between Tanz and DOTV (as Polanski & Kunze weren't involved), and that he had a big responsibility in maintaining the reputation and quality of Tanz.
It would be interesting to know how much creative control he had at the start (if any), and how, why & when he started to lose that control.
Did he agree with the choices of Crawford & Rando?
What happened to John Caird?
Why did he allow Angels Arise to be used, if he didn't agree with it's inclusion?
Who okayed Crawford's shitty Italian accent??
