Bat Out Of Hell

Product Information

When Rundgren discovered that the deal with RCA did not actually exist (and on top of this that he had essentially paid for the album himself), he turned to Albert Grossman, who had been Bob Dylan's manager, for help. AllMusic suggest that although the album deserves the attention, "the extra disc of material is [not] worth the time of anyone outside of fanatics. In the Classic Albums documentary, Rundgren identifies how the song was influenced by the Eagles, who were successful at the time. The BBC television programme Old Grey Whistle Test aired a clip of the live band performing the nine-minute title track. They "make out" heavily in the middle instrumental section, described in metaphor in a baseball commentary by New York Yankees announcer Phil Rizzuto.

Truth be told, there probably isn’t one definitive edition as Bat Out Of Hell has never been an album that will please audiophiles. It recounts the positive changes that a girl has made to the singer's life, which had "reached the bottom". The song also incorporates some sexual innuendo with the line "And can't you see my faded Levi's bursting apart.Vocals are less forward in the mix, being less invasive and freeing some headroom for the other instruments, whereas the piano seems rejuvenated. The three songs were " Bat Out of Hell", " Heaven Can Wait" and "The Formation of the Pack", which was retitled " All Revved Up With No Place to Go". I already have some copies under other formats, but this album deserves double and triple dipping – I have the original vinyl edition, a CD version, and the Columbia SA-CD. Bat Out of Hell is the 1977 debut album by American rock singer Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman.

The next track, " You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)", opens with spoken word, performed by Steinman and Off-Broadway actress Marcia McClain, that was also taken from the Neverland musical, as were the next two tracks. Simultaneously, Meat Loaf released " Bat Out of Hell" as a single, which also made the top ten in the United Kingdom. Powers had heard that Warren was a fan of 'Wall of Sound' production and suggested that he listen to Bat Out of Hell over the Christmas and New Years holiday. The three songs were "Bat Out of Hell", "Heaven Can Wait" and "The Formation of the Pack", which was later retitled "All Revved Up with No Place to Go". Todd Rundgren states that Steinman was highly influenced by the "rural suburban teenage angst" of Springsteen.All orchestrations and arrangements that were non-rhythm in nature were performed by members of the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestras, under concertmaster Gene Orloff. No other rock 'n' roller besides Meat Loaf could pull off the humor and theatricality of Back Into Hell and make it seem real. The final disc is a DVD containing all three of the Michael Bay videos, and a featurette with an interview with Meat Loaf and Steinman, with behind the scenes footage from the video shoot of "I'd Do Anything for Love". Its musical style is influenced by Steinman's appreciation of Richard Wagner, Phil Spector and Bruce Springsteen.

If you love this album as much as I do, then you know it by heart : therefore you know exactly where is each and every sound artifact. Out of desperation, another E Street Band member, Steve Van Zandt, and Sonenberg arranged to contact Cleveland International Records, a subsidiary of Epic Records. As of June 2019, it has spent 522 weeks in the UK Albums Chart, the second longest chart run by a studio album.It is also the best-selling album in Australia, having been certified 26× Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). With a narrative featuring young love and lust, weaving in humour, drama, and intense musical interludes, the multi-faceted structure of the song keeps you engaged from the very first note to the last. Heaven Can Wait is a beautiful heartfelt ballad that will leave a lasting impression for it’s, arguably, Meat Loaf’s greatest recording. As some other reviewers have pointed out the title track and For Cryin' Out Loud sound great, but so do the majority of the other songs. Finding themselves without a record contract, but needing one to work with Rundgren, they told the producer that they had been signed to RCA, who had actually rejected them on the basis of their desire to use Rundgren as producer.
