Purely going by memory, but I'm failrly certain that it DOES credit Rory Dodd with 'Featured Vocal' on the back of the 45 on which RnR Dreams appeared.

The more I listen to recent Meat Loaf stuff, the less convinced I am that he should record anything of any importance ever again, ie any new stuff by Steinman. I'd be quite happy for him and his producer of choice to cover a few of the new ones once Jim releases them with somebody else, I think that'd be sufficient.
