I had the CD a total of ten days before it was stolen, never had the vinyl's album cover to refer to, but never saw any mention of a lead vocal by Rory Dodd on there. So, suppose you scan it and show me what you mean? Logically, I can agree that the vocals on those three songs really do match up with each other. But those vocals are also songs, well, one of the songs in particular, "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through", has a video. It also has a German Television performance which we were able to see compliments of Pudding's blog. In each of these two videos, it is Jim who is performing and singing the song. Then also logically, with all of the credit given to the ladies who shared the vocals on certain songs in the BOOH album, why would the "factoid" of Rory Dodd become so obscure? What resource can you find in which you look up the name Rory Dodd, and find something which lends itself to information of the kind we seek? Or if not information, according to your statement, but confirmation. One could be credited with harmonies without having the lead vocal, if they are coexisting with the main performer on a song. So, logically it just does not seem to be the fact that Rory Dodd is doing vocals in lieu of Jimmy. None of his opportunities to give credit where he was freely giving credit to many, included giving main vocal credit to Rory Dodd. And it is not, as we can be sure of, that he can't admit to not carrying a full load of vocals, as he relinquished so much to Meatloaf before that, and after that, as also other singers throughout his career. I'm not seeing anything that speaks concretely to support your statement about those three songs.
