I've just checked out http://www.meatloaf.de, which says that the Australian release date for CHSIB is now on 6th October. It was previously 29th September.

Meat will be in Australia on this date, so it is fitting that it be released while he is there.

Thanks Shane for the info, gonna e mail my sister in Oz, and let her know, I just hope she's back down from Mackay by then.

Well, you didn't miss much then... some ridiculously stupid made edits (I'm Gonna Love Her Her... just fades out somewhere mid-sentence, and more). Only thing worthwhile might be "I Love You So I Told You A Lie" with Ted Nugent... a lot of "deffinitive collections" were available some years ago. I had the Bonnie Tyler one too, but gave that one to my mother when I got her (Bonnie's, not my mum's) 'relevant' albums (Faster, Secret Dreams and Free Spirit)...

But to answer the question, yes, I've got it :). Actually it was the 2nd Meat-CD in my collection (and one of the 1st 10 overall) *way* back in '93 or '94. My version has also an 'extra bonus CD' with 4 tracks from "Live" (Wembley '87). Haven't listened to it in ages though....

Play.com, probably the biggest online store next to Amazon have the Australian CHSIB available for pre-order at £11.99 including shipping, however they don;t receive it until 13/10/03. Although its 10 days later i think in the long term UK fans would get the CD quicker still than if they ordered through Austrailian shops.

I use play.com to order all my cd's DVDs etc and they are very quick and sharp on delivery. I highly recommend them. The products direct link is

It had been scheduled for October for a few months (Meat hinted at an October 2003 release some months ago), then a few weeks ago the date of 29th September was mentioned, and finally this new date of 6th October. I think it is fitting that the date is close to the US release, but I think either the rest of the world should have waited until the US and Australia, or that the US and Australian release should have been a the same time as Germany which was the first.

Here's another short Australian news article, http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/com...E14823,00.html.

There's nothing substantial in this article. It confirms that the `new single' to be performed at the NRL Final that was earlier mentioned by another news article will be CHSIB.

It also gives a date for an instore appearance at a record store in Melbourne, 7th October at HMV Bourke St, which I have already mentioned in this thread.

It also says that there is no gigs planned for Melbourne (and so I'm assuming not for the rest of Australia either), but the article writer is guessing he'll be on the `usual' talk shows.

Thanks Shane.
Well at least we have an idea of what he's going to be doing in Australia ... I'm still wondering when he's going to be on tv here in the US

The site http://www.meatloaf.de lists the Australian release date as 29th September again!

The ironic part is that's on the English section of the site, which doesn't list the US release date. Also, neither the Australian or English release dates are listed on the German section of the site, and yet it lists US tour dates?
Very confusing ...

.
He will be at the following music stores at the times stated:

October 4th, noon
Mall Music
Sydney (don't know where in Sydney this is)

He will be at the NRL grand final opening ceremony on the 5th. I'm not sure where that is or when but I'm sure anyone can look it up (I'll probably make an edit to this post later when I've found out myself).

The record company doesn't know what he'll be doing at other times during the Australian promo visit, other than probably giving interviews and so on.

So, will anyone be at these events? If so, can you take pictures? Give a review?

Hey Shane,

I've just checked and Mall Music seems to be at Warringah Mall, Brookvale in Sydney. I'll give them a call later and confirm it's the right store. I haven't been able to get any more info from Universal myself about Meat's promos in Oz. I assume he'll be on the usual talk shows - I'll tape them just in case during the dates he's here. The Grand Final is in Sydney with a kick off at 7pm so I'll record that appearance too. In the n/paper it said he'll be singing his new single and BOOH.

If anyone has found out any more info, please post it here, we're running out of time!

Luv & Hugs

www.ticketek.com.au for the final footy show tickets on thursday the 2nd of october at the entertainment center.

[Shane]

Thanks MooreMeat for that info. Do you know which radio stations he will be on? I'm hoping that, if he can be heard on radio, that he'll be able to be heard via the net as well. And could you tell me what Rove is please?

[MooreMeat]

Hi Shane,
The stations are the Ausstero network which includes tripleM and 2dayFm and the other is wsfm (classic rock station) nova969 are also trying to get Meat both in sydney and melbourne.

Thanks!

Is the album being promoted there yet? What kinds of promotion have you seen, if any?

[MooreMeat]

Shane,
To answer your question on Rove its a popular show in Australia on channel 10 that is on tuesday nights. The website is www.rove.com.au and you wont see meat advertised to a leat three days before thats the way the site works . It is hosted by Rove Mcnamus and has all the big stars on it. A bit like letterman. I think it plays in Auckland dont quote me on this.
Adam

[MooreMeat]

Shane ,
Not much promo yet I think most of it is been held back till Meat gets here. The newspapers and triple M have mentioned it. And of course the footy are advertising it but thats about it. The record stores hate me at the moment as Im making a bit of a hassle by ringing them to see if they have the album or going to get it. I read one of your previous posts on promoting Meats album and have taken some of the ideas and started. Ill keep you posted on any promos or any extra information.

Hey, thanks for that. I already rang Mall Music and confirmed Meat's appearance there. I will definitely be going.

Just a couple of questions - will Meat be appearing on the Final Footy Show at the Ent. Centre do you know? And you wouldn't happen to know what day Meat will be on Bert Newton? Otherwise I'm going to have to video tape every show! The only other tv talk show I can think of at the moment is The Panel - do you think he'll be on that? I'll keep an eye out on the tv for any promos anyway.

Luv & Hugs
Marianne

Hi Aus loaf,
To answer your first question Yes he is appering on the Final footy show and has been billed as such.With Uncle Bert Im not sure as all filming for the show is done on Mondays and Tuesdays for the week and he doesnt advertise guest till that day but if I find out Ill let you know or we have to watch it everyday. And the panel Im not sure but its proably more than likely as its channel 10 and they normally follow suit and he is in Melbourne at the time.(lets Hope). I cant wait till next saturday cause Im going as well its a long travel from the west but I will be at mall Music.

Hey Adam,

Thanks for the info. I can see I'd better make notes and get down to setting up the VCR to record. I guess I'll just have to record Bert N. every day - I don't usually watch it so I wouldn't catch any promos for the following shows. The Panel is just about the only other talk show for artists left on Sydney tv, so I would guess they'd try and get him on it. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if you do find out what tv Meat's doing.

So far I haven't heard any promos at all for ML apart from the bit in the Sunday newspaper about the footy final. Anyway, I'll definitely be at Warringah Mall - I live in the south near the airport, but I know the way really well - my parents live near there and I used to work at the Mall when I was at school and uni. I'll be wearing my WTTN t-shirt and my MLUKFC membership card round my neck, so look out for me, ok?

Luv & Hugs
