| This is very interesting, and I'm glad you brought it up. We'll probaly never get told the reason why Todd didn't produce, so we can only guess ourselves. This could be a bold opinion but what the hell, maybe they thought Desmond was a better producer. Or else maybe Todd didn't want to produce, because there was no Jim (even though I'd highly doubt it considering what money he could have made). I know Jim thinks Todd is a genius, but in my opinion there's no way Todd could have done it without Jim. > Even if Jim hadn't been involved, they could have asked > Todd Rundgren to produce, the original produce of "Bat out > of Hell".
