Mine was My Unles blasting out Bat album on a tape (ha) in his car in the last 80's. I would have been 4/5. Always remember his old vauxhaull trips to skegness with Meat blasting away - followed by Queen then some dire country and western haha.
The same uncle really got me into Meat loaf, as I remember the AFL video and the promo's in the shops. There was this huge Bat 2 - whats the word - the things you see in cinemas advertising films - cardbord cutout?? Anyway, thhis huge cutout was in a record shop and I wanted it so bad, but could not have it, but My uncle bought me Bat 2 on my first ever CD (wich I still have) and tape for his car - but - the memore that sticks in mind the most, My uncle told me that Meat loaf slept in coffins - as we all know, adults tell small lies to kiddies. It made me love Meat more, and be more in awe of him. Im lucky that I didnt have strick parents, as such, because they allowed me to go to see Meat for the Bat 2 tour in Sheffield when I was 8, with my sister - and we got free tickets for the 2nd show coz my Dad won a competition on radio hallam, so I got to see him twice. I always remember being a little frightend when the intro started for the show, all these flashing lights and these wierd noises...scared me to death. Although, I know I was younger, I am still convinced to this day, the show was a hell of a lot louder then what the arena pumps out now. I think the noise police put restrictions on the db level a few years back.
Anyway, thts my early Meat memory.
Sorry for the long post
