Cant get hold of Blind Before I Stop..

roomster · 08 Apr 2009, 03:26

Hello

Why is it impossible to get hold of a Blind Before I Stop CD?

http://meatloaf.net/music/index.php?..._id=11&type=lp

I have litteraly searched every major webshop online, but noone have this album. I have found some used versions, but I want a new one...

Any idea

I initially had some troubles getting hold of a Bad Attitude CD also, but I finally managed it in august 2008 (from cdzone.co.uk).

I've been searching, often finding but never around long enough for a decade. I still haven't found it. Sounds like the basic all steel canopener that is lying somewhere around the house.

MeatGrl1 · 08 Apr 2009, 03:42

I found both mine (second hand) on ebay, I think it's discontinued that's why you can't find it.

Unfortunately, they prefer to flood the market with compilations instead of re-releasing Meat's less popular albums. There is a CD box called Rock 'n' Roll Hero that actually contains the albums Bad Attitude, Blind Before I Stop and Live but they were mixed up. The tracklist of CD 1 looks like this, for example: Three songs from Live, two from Blind Before I Stop, three from Bad Attitude, two from Blind Before I Stop.

It took me ages to find it as well, but eventually I got it off ebay, not sure if it was new or second hand though. It does turn up occasionally on ebay so just keep checking and you may get lucky one day.

are there actually any numbers out htere how many cds have been pressed? I mean it's not supposed to be rare, like the CHSIB lp for example, yet a lot of fans have problems to get their hands on a BBIS copy.

An advice: If it's just the music you want, and not the actual disk, look for the vinyl lp on ebay, it's a lot cheaper and easier to find.

It comes up quite often on American Amazon and American E-Bay...Americans are much more apt to part with ML stuff than Europeans...

try amazon.de, at the moment they show three used copies non of each more expensive than 6,50€. They also show a new one for 40€.

If I'm interpreting this Amazon.com listing correctly, BBIS is going to be reissued in June, on Wounded Bird Records, the same label that did the Ellen Foley reissues. (Nothing to be found on their site though.)

Just got a reply from Wounded Bird Records saying that they couldn't obtain the rights to add any bonus tracks. Which would indicate that BBIS indeed is going to be reissued.

Exciting

Are these reissued versions exact replicas of the original CD's? Songs, inlay-graphics, and so on?

I will check out amazon.de, thanks

Try HMV they are showing a re-release date of 11/5/08 at £8.99 with free UK delivery.

I know you may have to pay a little extra for post to Norway but it would still be cheaper than the new prices I have seen elsewhere

The three Ellen Foley reissues I have are quite similar to the respective LP versions. In this case, I don't have a clue beyond what I already posted.

i found a new cd copy in a dollar bin at my local record store. America rocks

Hedi · 09 Apr 2009, 15:23

This don't fit in here, but I found this CD called "Bad Attitude" for 170 Euro (!!!!) on play.com. Can anybody tell me what's special with this??? Looks like another compilation of well known songs.

that is a f'n rip. i just saw that today for less then 8 bucks

Cristina · 09 Apr 2009, 19:58

Actually I payed a lot more for the LP I got as it came out in 86 than the cd I found later. It's not the best album Meat did, but there are a few on my favorites on that

Tracks:
1. Rock'N'Roll Mercenaries
2. Getting Away With Murder
3. Modern Girl
4. Jumpin' The Gun
5. Nowhere Fast
6. Standing On The Outside
7. Piece Of The Action
8. Cheatin' In Your Dreams
9. Bad Attitude
10. Blind Before I Stop
11. Paradise By The Dashboard Light (Live)
12. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (Live)
13. Bat Out Of Hell (Live)

So it has nothing to do with the original "Bad Attitude" album from 1984.

MeatGrl1 · 09 Apr 2009, 21:08

It's a compilation of Bad Attitude, Live and a few from BBIS.

No it has nothing to do with the original

.

Only in my collection cos I like the picture

!!

Amazon has updated the listing with the artwork (US version) and track listing.
