About this deal

Released in October 1977 at the height of “Punk”, this is the album that should never have left the starting blocks, but proved all the cynics wrong.

The deluxe booklet (inside a 6-panel digipak) features rare and never-before-published photos as well as comprehensive liner notes by The Second Disc’s Randy Fairman drawing on fresh interviews with Grammy-nominated Shaun Murphy (Bob Seger, Little Feat) and Ralph Terrana. Following Bat Out Of Hell came such masterpieces as 1981’s Dead Ringer, 1984’s Bad Attitude, and the Bat Out Of Hell sequels, 1993’s Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell and 2006’s Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose, not to mention 2010’s Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Dead ringer for love featuring Cher is one of my favourites with its driving rhythm and humorous lyrics. This 2-CD, 28-track anthology premieres the original 1971 Stoney and Meatloaf album on CD and adds rare singles including both sides of Stoney's solo Motown 45.

Two of those are written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman and are adapted from their musical Whistle Down the Wind; both of these tracks were produced by Steinman. Meat Loaf is an incredible talent and this really is some of his greatest songs, with the most famous being all included on this 2 CD compilation. Nocturnal pleasure is a creepy commentary by the one and only Jim Steinman depicting a world after a holocaust, which coincides with the album artwork. Meatloaf bat out a Hell is on of the 1st LPs I ever bought and after his passing I had to have this brilliant tribute to him the artwork an guitar ?This album made me the huge Meat Loaf fan I am today and this collection of songs was way above my expectations before listening to the album. My biggest issue with this album is the CD mix is really bad and I wished they had done a better job recording/mixing the album. Not a dry eye in the house (another amazing non Jim Steinman penned track) is another absolute favourite of mine with it's huge and powerful sound and it's epic, romantic lyrics, making a play a metaphor for the love story . Everything Under the Sun: The Motown Recordings from Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records is the ultimate celebration of the late rock hero's singular collaboration with Shaun Murphy. If you want music that will take you away to another place, that will make you change the way you view the world in the moment then this is the music for you!

The album cover says it all with its lavish artwork denoting what appears like a possible apocalypse with a man standing on a ledge and a giant bat creature (influenced by the Bat out of hell albums) in the foreground, and the city destroyed in the background. An 8-page full colour souvenir booklet featuring photographs and anecdotes from Meat Loaf, including his brush with an American president, his early career and the truth behind his name.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. With its dramatic sound, crazy lead guitar, sound effects and a muscular time of 9:50 its one epic tune that sets you up for an album that will blow you away!Produced in the Motor City by Ralph and Russ Terrana and Mike Valvano, 1971"s Stoney and Meatloaf boldly fused rock, soul, blues, gospel, funk, and country.
