Correct me if I'm wrong:
BAT 2 was in the works since around 1985. Jim had started working with Meat on the songs. I think "Original sin" and "It's all coming back to me now" might have been some of those songs.
Then Meat went out to the record company. They organized a big meeting where Meat was going to pitch BAT 2. He walks in and suddenly... They don't want it. It's too expensive. Steinman is too difficult. It's not going to happen. Meat was, like. Well, maybe I don't want to work with you guys anymore.
"Live at Wembley" came out and that was the last album on that label. Meat talks about what happened here in a 90s interview for BAT 2.
Meat of course also plays various songs from "Bad for good" and snippets of "Original sin" on the 80s BOOH 10th anniversary tour, which I can't help but wonder were also tryouts for BAT 2, similar to Pink Floyd previewing songs before they got recorded.
