Hi Tapio
I  believe I did read Byron quote that High and Mighty was a real downer
for him. I know some of the guys have mentioned that they were short of
time and had to use Kens songs etc.
David also was annoyed that Mick had a very small role on that album.
US sales of Return to Fantasy we're not as expected, Bron was tightening
the screws, so the finished product was what you would expect when your out
of time and rushing.
My opinion anyway.
