Any news on this? Is it something completely new or a re-release?

I'd say it's a rehash.

My guess is that in the 80's(when things weren't going well financially for him) Meat mightve sold the rights to his name to BMG or Sony which is why you get the 14 million compliation albums with the running order just messed around.

Judging by the tracks...nothing to write home about...

Whats their idea of hits???????? almost all those songs kick the bucket, most are from MATLAF!

Their idea of "hits" is stuff that they have the rights to, which they can attach Bat out of Hell and the Meat Loaf logo to and move copies of.

The first three albums is all they have, and they're not going to replicate the BooH tracklisting too closely, cause it still sells. So they put some big name songs with a lot of crap that doesn't sell and voila! Crap that doesn't sell is beginning to sell!

it's a re-issue of sony's bat out of hell on delta label 2004
