Good point. Still though, as much as his stamp is all-over, say, Full Moon Fever, I have a hard time believing Tom wouldn’t have had his say or way regardless of what the album credits, being as headstrong and stubborn as he was. I think this would’ve been true in the context of the Wilburys- even though he was the ringleader production-wise, I think there had to have been a lot of input and collaboration with the others, again, due to the nature of having so many opinionated visionaries onboard.
