That's a cool story. Thanks for sharing. I always thought Red Light would make a fun live song.

Sadly, the source is/was TMB. He started the whole Meat Loaf online revolution. He is no longer with us, having slipped into the eternal bat cave, but he is there keeping the berry juice cold for the Lost Boys and Golden Girls when it is our turn. It was amazing, every time he would go to a Meat Loaf show to hear the utter joy in his voice when he would call me with the details of the show(s).

Just pre-ordered it, WTTN was actually the first Meat Loaf album which I owned myself so it holds a special place in my heart. Got it back when I was about 9-10 to go with my first ever proper CD player. I had been listening to BOOH2 since it's release (Think I was 4 when it came out, I was born in 87, came out in 91 right?) but it and BOOH were my parents so this was my first proper album.
It also helps that it's a bloody amazing album! |

Im a new Meat Loaf fan so this is the first re-release of a older album ive had the chance to preorder. Which i just have done!. Sounds great, and ive only heard the singles from this album, so some of the tracks will be totally new to me.
I want to get the double disk version of BOOH2 as well, but it seem very expensive everywhere. |

I wish we could get some true demos and rarities, or even remixes. Martha with just piano...Left In The Dark a capella...I don't know, just something we haven't heard before.
All the same, I can't wait for this one. WTTN is an amazing album, and my memories of the tour are fantastic. Quality through and through. |

Already placed my order with you for it and can't wait. Two quick Qs though: - Do you know if the album has been remastered? Or is it just a re-release of the original? - And, if this is release is successful, do you see any plans for any other albums to be done in the same format (specifically wondering about Bad Attitude)? Thanks! |

Morning.
There has been nothing mentioned about it being remastered. As for the album you mentioned, thats a Sony title rather them EMI and I think they've done all they're likely to do with the 80s album. They threw them together with Bat titles for Piece Of The Action. The good thing with the EMI stuff is that some money will end up in Meat's pocket, whereas the Sony stuff doesn't. |

Meat doesn't get performance (or songwriting, where relevant) royalties from any of the recordings on Sony BMG?!? Did he sell them at one stage, or…? |

The story is that meat accepted a £/$10m payment but was owed much much more from BAT alone. I'm sure someone could fill in the details?

So I assume this deal was forthcoming from the label when Meat was flat broke, or close to, in the 80s? It's sad that its such an oft-repeated story that some of the most rediculously popular/successful ventures generate so little (relatively) for the people behind them. At least it kept Todd's career afloat all these years. |

My recollection is that the settlement Meat finally accepted was late in the 90s .. and even last year Popovitch was still involved in litigation with them Quote:

Either way, it will take forever for the physical copy to get here. Put it up as an international download and be done with it. I won't pay to wait.
