How many Meat Loaf records do you own?

samurai7 · 07 Aug 2006, 14:46

I'd be interested to know how many Meat/Jim CD's/Vinyls/Cassettes everybody has? I know that I have 6 different editions of Bat Out Of Hell on CD alone, not counting the three editions on vinyl and two on Cassette. I guess you could say I have a bit of an obsession

They are:

1 The original Bat CD
2 Bat 'Revamped' (extra track 'Dead Ringer For Love')
3 The 24k Gold-plated Master Sound/Legacy edition from a while back (very nice sound quality!)
4 The 25th Anniversary edition (with the live tracks and Dead Ringer again)
5 The same edition, but in a double pack with the Hits Out Of Hell CD
6 the double set Bat/Dead Ringer (both albums in one pack)

Alex · 07 Aug 2006, 14:48

Too many.
I had a stage of buying everything I saw that I didn't have of Meat's/Jim's. I'm kinda past that big slightly - however, something odd pop's up I'll fork out for it. :)
I've got my Bat out of hell picture disc vinyl album. One of my faves :P

Chris · 07 Aug 2006, 14:51

Pretty much all the commercial releases from the UK

samurai7 · 07 Aug 2006, 14:59

Me too - for a while I had to buy ANYTHING I could find by Meat/Jim - even if I had all the tracks on it.

I'm knd of over that now, so I didn't bother getting 'The Very Best Of...' when they reissued it a couple of years back with all the songs jumbled up. I don't know why they did that - now 'Nocturnal Pleassure' is taken out of its original context...

Also, there's like a million different versions of the 'Rock and Roll Hero' compilation, so I've avoided some of those. Same with 'Meat Loaf and Friends' etc. But as far as albums, singles, picture discs, etc go, I must have very nearly every one. And now that we have access to ebay, I'm kind of getting the bug again, and searching for those very few that I need to complete my collection...

And as for the Jim records I have... well, let's not go there...

...it's not easy admitting you owwn Barry Manilow and Air Supply records...

needmoremeat · 07 Aug 2006, 16:09

I bought any CD/tape/video/DVD that had Meat or Jim on, but not if I already had all the songs! I think I have nearly all the CDs except the "and Friends" and the "Heaven and Hell", as I have the shorter tape of that. Have two copies of the two Bats only because I played them so much they got damaged, one of the copies of Bat II being the cassette. Single-wise I only have CHSIB and MOS.

meatloaf-unofficial · 07 Aug 2006, 17:47

Lets say I have alot of Ml cds/dvd/tapes (few of them) and around 30 backing tracks !!!! I also have bootlegs aswell !

Ageing Bat · 07 Aug 2006, 18:14

Loads! And I have absolutely no intention of clambering around in my atic to count them!

mszee · 07 Aug 2006, 19:27

I have all albums released in US and a lot that were released abroad.

The only one I am missing on CD is Bad Attitude which I have problems getting for some reason - delivery keeps on getting postponed. But I do own it on tape.

Check my website. It doesn't have all the different versions of the same album (Bat: 7 versions, Bat II: 6, etc.), but it's an overview of what I've got.
Slightly outdated at the moment, as I'm still waiting on some items to arrive before the update.

meatloaf-unofficial · 07 Aug 2006, 20:14

Cool !

**RadioMaster** · 07 Aug 2006, 21:07

I´ve got "only" one issue per album

Bat out of Hell
Dead Ringer
Bat out of Hell II
Welcome to the Neighbourhood
Very best of
CHSIB
(soon Bat out of Hell III

)
Live with MSO DVD
(+sound extracted and put on two cd´s

)
Live Storytellers DVD
Live around the world
Bad for Good
Tanz der Vampire
and (ordered but still on the way to me) Whistle down the Wind

I probably (well, in every case) will buy more with the time, but I cant hear one album at one point and get used to it, before I´ll buy the next)

Leah · 07 Aug 2006, 21:34

I've got more or less every uk commercial release including any singles that I can get my hands on and i've got some imports. Though I tend not to keep buying all the reissues of the 'Best Of's especially if there's no new tracks on them. I've got quite a large vinyl collection including picture disc's and i've also got a large collection of videos and all the dvd's which have been released so far. I too used to collect anything and everything but these days i'm a little more laid back, though I think i'll revert to my old ways when Bat 3 is issued!!!

What's there to be

about, having only one copy of each album? If having several versions floats your boat, great. If it doesn't, also great. And cheaper.

OK,

we mustn;t panic but after answering this question i went to browse my collection to see how much i do have. It would appear i have two rather glaring omissions:
Welcome to the neighbourhood - I used to own this so don't know where it has gone
And Bat 2 - I don;t think i ever bought this!

I feel a trip to the record store coming on.

**RadioMaster** · 08 Aug 2006, 00:09

I think the much more interesting question would be: How much albums by other artists do you own

samurai7 · 08 Aug 2006, 00:18

I have about two thousand CDs in total (possibly more - I haven't counted them lol) and over a thousand DVDs. All different styles of music, and all different types of movies. Does this answer your question?

tukayaway · 08 Aug 2006, 02:04

Does anyone else own a copy of BOOH on see-through vinyl? Someone offered me £75 for it, so I'm guessing it's quite rare.

I have the BOOH 12" single on red vinyl that could be qualified as see through, but I've never heard of any version of the album on coloured/transparent vinyl (picture discs being the obvious exception)

*AndyK* · 08 Aug 2006, 10:14

Chris ... you should hang your head in shame

I think there's only one record missing from my collection at the moment ... Bat III
