| Oh, I'm well familiar with Roy Thomas Baker. In fact -- he was the CARS producer, for the most part, so if he HAD got on board Bat 3 I'm sure the marketing team could have churned out a connection back to Todd if they were feeling creative. :o) David Richards has also worked with Queen. He did The Miracle and Innuendo! and Made in Heaven, too! And around the same time he did the absolutely fantastic OUTSIDE with David Bowie and Brian Eno. Since then I'm not sure what he's done to be honest? Excuse me whilst I google a li'l...
