Bat Out Of Hell

Product Information

Get Yer Vinyl Out takes you back to the adrenalin, dram and passion for a non-stop run of his Greatest Hits. Meatloaf's Legendary album 'Bat Out Of Hell' which made him a household name, pressed 180gram heavyweight black vinyl. Many people seem to like the Fridays reissue, in my opinion, this pressing makes that seem pretty terrible.

A constant for years in the album charts, it has been followed up by Bat Out of Hell 2 and 3, and a stage musical. Years after it was released, the 16x platinum selling Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell is to be repressed on vinyl for the first time since its initial release. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. Synonymous with one of the best-selling albums of all time, Marvin Lee Aday's vision and talent has become a legacy.

It also has to be noted this is NOT a Multichannel SACD release so unlike the previous SACD offering cannot be listened to in 5. Theres been several half hearted attempts to get round this not least with a Sony SACD release then a Multichannel release on SACD later on. It was the concept of composer Jim Steinman, was recorded through 1975 and 1976, and was produced by Todd Rundgren. Mr Aday's vocals take on a new lease of life bringing out a new snap and sparkle hidden previously and there is also audiophile traits exposed like plucking of the bass strings which again have been hidden.

The songs are once again written by Jim Steinman and the album features the same cast from the original: keyboardist Roy Bittan and drummer Kenny Aronoff, with vocal support by Ellen Foley, Kasim Sultan and Todd Rundgren. And there never could have been a singer more suited for his compositions than Meat Loaf, a singer partial to bombast, albeit shaded bombast. He started work with producer Jim Steinman on the 'Bat Out Of Hell' horror concept album in 1972, but it was rejected by various record companies before getting a release in 1977.The opening track draws you in and takes me back to being a child listening for the first time my Dad's original vinyl copy.
