“Frank wanted us to get paid very close to nothing. He had brought together all of these great musicians and when the concept of money came up he had a figure in his head which was a figure from 1972. So we wanted 1987 money; Frank was paying 1972 money. It was an easy decision to make. We left the project and never looked back.” – Mark Volman, 28 October 2006
