After all the rejections that Bat had in those days, doing Bat just because you thought you could make a sack load of cash off it is akin to someone with a gambling problem sticking the days racing form on the dartboard (after scibbling out all the favourites) and chucking a dart on it to see which horse he should bet his last fiver on. |
I think Todd said on Classic Albums that when he got involved, 'the commercial potential of the album was completely unknown', which hardly sounds like someone who was only interested in the money ?!
