Bat Out Of Hell 40th Anniversary Edition
Any news on this or was the campaign to pull the re-release so successful that it's been binned completely?

Not a lot of CD's get sold now, and most everyone that likes BOOH has a copy or maybe a dozen. Only bonus tracks might be of interest to a relative niche' audience. My guess is they won't invest the money.

Stunningly good material but poorly mixed.

Really wanted a re release but doesn't look like it's going to happen and the thought of no more meat releases is not good

The musical is the special commemorative event - and the cast album is wonderful!

Real shame but it is what it is.
Happy belated birthday, Bat. |

That's because the situation was very different. This article (and one of the other ones) is kind of misleading on the subject of Clive Davis' reception of Springsteen vs. Meat. Bruce was actually signed as a solo artist, as a singer-songwriter in the vein of Bob Dylan. His first two records (and the songs he played at his audition) weren't anything like Born to Run; in fact, he was in danger of being dropped by the label if BTR hadn't been a hit. The author almost makes it sound as if BTR was Bruce's first album. It's not a valid comparison, IMO. |

Spot on, Julie. Makes me wish you'd written the article.
