I think you are missing the point I was trying to make.
Jim decided to be a singer because Meat lost his voice.
As a singer he released one album.
1.
Numero uno.
Less than 2 in 2 out of three.
The only good record in a bad record shop.
The Chesney Hawkes of albums (think about it
).
And then he sank without trace (as a singer).
No second album ever appeared.
So what would have happened to Meat if he'd recorded and released that material rather than the Bat album?
Sure, it would have sounded a lot better, but was the material good enough to make a good enough impression (would it sell enough copies) for the record company to think it was worth forking out the cash for the next album?
Because if Meat debuted with Bad For Good, and it had the same success rate with the same results, Meat today would be one of those music curiosities that you might find on vinyl under the novelty section of your local second hand record store.
I'm sure some folks would disagree strongly with this (and feel free to), but I think Jim's Bad For Good only ever made it onto CD because of the interest generated through the Meat Loaf/Bat connection.

Ever record exec who ever turned down Bat must cry himself to sleep every night
"Clive", the dude who said Meat was Robert Goulett and Jim didn't know anything about Rock n Roll must have taken up yoga so he could indeed follow Meat's instructions (shouted from the street) and go f*ck himself.
It doesn't matter who it turned off. It turned on one man with belief, vison, and a huge set of cahoonas.
Shout out to MR STEVE POPOVICH!!!!!!
Nobody else matters.
