BUT...It would still be the same album we all know and love if they had the credit as "Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman". It wouldn't make any difference to the quality of the songs or the way they were produced. Anything that's good will always have a way of getting out in the end. I like to believe had they advertised it the way Jim envisioned it with Meat Loaf, it would still have sold as many copies as it did.
When all's said and done, for me, Meat Loaf was just the singer. All those brilliant songs came out of Jim's imagination first.
