As quoted, Mick seems somewhat less articulate than usual.

So, did the band pay for all of Tusk's production themselves or just pay a fraction of it? I guess they had to pay some money for it being a double album, but how much? I'd like to know before I start lavishing them with praise for reinvesting their wealth back into the art.

The record company likely financed the production of Tusk - but all money spent by the record company on the project would have been repaid through sales and or royalty payments in the subsequent years.. So yeah, the band kinda paid for it themselves whether it was upfront or not who knows.
