Original Sin was not written nor intended for Meat to sing. The original and in my opinion far superior version was written and recorded for the album of the same name performed by Jim's group of Vocalists "Pandora's Box".
And as for Left In The Dark... I say that this is a cover version too. The ones from Bad for Good that are also on Bat 2 are not, becasue as you say they were originally written for him to perform. But as for Left In The Dark, though written for him, Jim did not intend to not be present during the production of the song and it would have been most different if he had made it with Jim (ie: if it was not a cover of the Jim song).
