I knew you would point this out. But there's an obvious reason to this. It says very clearly on the front cover of the EP "JIM STEINMAN: ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME THROUGH". Plus there's a black&white picture of him. It would seem silly to credit Rory for the track when Jim's clearly seen on the front cover. I'm sure Rory's credited on the LP though | |
