Rolling Stone Reviews

HELP!

There's no more Meat Loaf or Jim Steinman for me to collect - I've got it all - but recently I thought that having a copy of each Rolling Stone review for each Meat album would be cool. So I gathered together the info from the Rolling Stone website and hit eBay. However, the issue I was expecting to find the review in, doesn't have it. On Rolling Stone's website, the details are: Dave Marsh, Bat out of Hell, 15 December 1977. I bought the issue dated on that date, and there's no reviews. It's a Tenth Anniversary edition.

So....

My question is: Do you know the issue number of when the reviews were in Rolling Stone, please?

I'm looking for:
Bat out of Hell
Dead Ringer
Bat out of Hell II
Bat out of Hell III

Any others - but I don't think RS reviewed the other albums.

TY,
Proctorloaf

Note that the following dates are sourced from the RS website and may not be strictly accurate:

Bat I - Dec. 15, 1977 (no star count recorded)
Dead Ringer - Nov. 26, 1981 (2 stars)
Bat II - Oct. 28, 1993 (2 stars)
Bat III - Oct. 17, 2006 (2 stars)

Again, not sure if the dates are exact, but look for issues on or around them.
