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. I played half of the title track from my regular release just to have a clear memory of how it sounded and there it was, music and Meat Loaf crumpled into a ball lodged somewhere between the front speakers but it's Bat out of Hell and it's great.

Meatloaf's Legendary album 'Bat Out Of Hell' which made him a household name, pressed 180gram heavyweight black vinyl. There was a rumour that the original master tapes had been destroyed in a fire and this would have proved to be an unmitigated disaster.Wow, I never expected such a difference but there it was in all of it's aural glory, much like putting my reading glasses after squinting and straining with text for 20 years, suddenly all was clear.

Why bother with it when you might already have a copy and own one of the many versions out there already? For all intents and purposes, it's the same master as the standard European pressings around at the time. Lower frequencies now anchor the music to the floor and the mids and trebles move up and out from the speakers creating a wall of music with clear separation and vocals that oversee the entire stage.

It may elevate adolescent passion to operatic dimensions, and that's certainly silly, but it's hard not to marvel at the skill behind this grandly silly, irresistible album. 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.

I have bought 'Bat out of Hell' several times snice first hearing it back in 1977, first on vinyl (LONG gone sadly) then on Sony Mastersound Gold CD then finally this version. Coming 16 years after the release of the multiplatinum Bat out of Hell, Back into Hell doubles down on the humour and theatricality of Meat’s debut making it a worthy successor. After cleaning with vacuum cleaning device Okki Nokki and Humminguru ultrasonic cleaner no improvement.

While the sentiments are deliberately adolescent and filled with jokes and exaggerated clichés, there's real (albeit silly) wit behind these compositions, not just in the lyrics but in the music, which is a savvy blend of oldies pastiche, show tunes, prog rock, Springsteen-esque narratives, and blistering hard rock (thereby sounding a bit like an extension of Rocky Horror Picture Show, which brought Meat Loaf to the national stage). com (also known as Esprit) has been the world's biggest and best seller of premium quality and top condition rare and vintage vinyl records, rare CD's and music memorabilia since 1985 - that's 39 years! Jim Steinman was a composer without peer, simply because nobody else wanted to make mini-epics like this. As it happened the original tapes WERE safe and sound in the Sony vaults and so they were rescued and a brand new remaster was made by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound using the very latest technology, released by a specialist record company Analog Spark and released on the audiophile Hybrid SACD format.There has been a noticeable increase in the clarity and detail of the music especially on the quieter more 'ballardy' tracks like 'Heaven Can Wait' and sections of 'For Crying Out Loud' .
