This is the first time I heard about this "40th anniversary" thing.
Apparently, according to the article, the reason Meat's making the three albums currently and releasing a DVD is to celebrate his 40th anniversary as a recording artist which started with 1971's "SToney & Meatloaf".
he never mentioned it was his 40th anniversary as a recording artist, did he?
But now that I think about it, If this is all to celebrate the 40th anniversary, why no announcements of a Stoney and Meatloaf re-release?
Of course you can take this article with a cup of cheese and gingerbread:
