This came up in about 2019, I think? Meat started saying that he was going to make a new album called "13 Roads to Bat" and each of the songs was going to have a different theme, e.g. Hope, Betrayal, Love, Death, all that kind of thing. I also remember hearing that he was going to record "What Part of my Body Hurts the Most?" of Jim's because that was a song he'd always wanted to do, and I think "Safe Sex" as well?
The last I heard he was going to make an EP of about 5 Jim songs, and release them along with the original Bat out of Hell demos, which he'd wanted to do for the 40th anniversary, only the record company IIRC ended up putting out one of their stupid releases instead, and nothing ever happened after that.
