"Album version"? :|

LOL, they call that lousy thing "steelbox"? I thought it would be something more valuable, like the wonderful dvd steelboxes.

Is it in a steel box? I've got the greatest hits in a metal box.

whats the difference? lol
any pics?

gonna look out for it during my regular visit to the record store. Not too thrilled by the tracklist though.

I was just wondering;When Meat see's these ''Hits'' albums,if he get annoyed about it?

M.I.B

Rock On Tommy!!

Well, with that track-list, it's not all "greatest" or all "hits", so it'll probably be plastic box spray-painted to look like steel :twisted:

Dave

It's another Sony best of, although, I've spoken to the head of UK and he told me that there isn't a Meat Loaf one coming out.

RED Muze (who update all the websites album content) have listed it so I had a look into it.

If it is coming out, it certainly won't be £18.49 so I'd maybe hold off until I've got a good price sorted should it happen :)

thankls for the update Kev.... :-)

okay, they've updated me and informed me it is getting a UK release.

Since his most greatest of hits came from Bat2 and afterwards, it seems kinda a bogus Greatest Hits CD to me. Funnily, Deadringer For Love which was his greatest hit pre-Bat2 isn't even on it...WTF? :wtf:

Pud :twisted:

He mentioned that it did indeed annoy him, a few years back in the 'Cash For Questions' bit of Q Magazine, and was quick to point out that 'The Very Best Of' (and possibly Hits Out Of Hell - I don't remember) were the only compilations endorsed by him. I think the interview was around CHSIB.

Oh, and lets not mince words, both the packaging and the tracklist for this suck ass.

Nore is Modern girl, paradise, or Two Out of Three

Hits Out Of Hell wasn't endorsed by Meat. Durinhg the Bad Attitude tour it was released by Epicto cash in on Meat's publisity at the time. Epic managed to get displays promotoing the record in the venues Meat was playing and I remember seeing Meat's manager at the time ripping these displays down.

Wasn't the Hits Out Of Hell album released the same time as the video? because I remember reading Meat made all the video's for that in a couple of days, which to me doesn't sound like Meat was objecting too much to it.

Pud :twisted:

They were released around the same time, but there was nothing new on the video that hadn't been seen before. Modern Girl (presumably licensed from Arista) was on the album but not the video release.

I mean it's kinda of a great idea a steel box collection, but I mean if your going to release something like that why not have a bunch more songs. I mean why not make it a box collection, and have demo's, live versions, & non-released songs.

Totally agree. Meat could do a Steel Box thingy with all the songs he's done and Steinman could do a Pandora's Box.

Pud :twisted:

or a wooden box

Steel box or none, it is pretty bizarre that after all these years we've yet to have a rarities compilation.

Move a long people, nothing to see.
Just another Greatest hits which don't deserves our money.

( ;) )

It's just a cheap knock out by sony so you're just going to get the normal stuff from the albums.

It's nothing to do with Meat what is and isn't released, they own the recording and that why they'll keep producing collections and best of's. I'm not even sure if Meat would get anything for them either.

whys it called steel box collection then?
indicates that its something special (at least the packaging) to me....:?:confused:

Because they mis-spelt "steal" :twisted:

Dave

lol!

No, it is in a Steel Box

any pictures? might be worth buying for the packaging

Just realized, its a clone of "simply the best" :

https://pro-ssl23.de/oldiesfm.de/sho...fa19b36a5ee845

:lol: - Sony's real lousy

As far as hits cd's I only have Hit's out of Hell (my sister's she forget to pickup) & I own The very best of..the 2 disc hits collection. I don't go all hog wild over greatest hits cd's, only die hard fans will buy every cd from the artist.

better than all the rest??? :lol:

They released a CD with the same tracklist under the title Hit Collection last year. It contained a shortened version of Bat out of Hell (about 5 minutes long). :tired:

Well they didn't just commit first degree murder :roll:

have you heard the heaven can wait collection where they butcher an editing of a kiss is a terrible thing to waste?:nuts:

:shock: no no no no, thats what the dukes box sets are in.. :D

Me neither. I have all the songs on one CD or another and I don't buy just for packaging.

Pud :twisted:

depends on the kind of packaging :twisted:

Im honest here, if this would be some super dooper deluxe style real metal box I might buy it.
But I rather doubt that...

That Edit SUCKS. My grandma could pull a better edit. I mean it's an obvious cut and fade in that makes you wonder if whoever editing is deaf.

I placed my order for the Steel Box collection on Amazon. Yes I ORDERED IT. :twisted:

I collect all these unofficial best ofs cause there's bound to be real hilarious edits.......

has anyone actually been keeping track how many best of's have been published so far?

My Count:

1. Hits out of hell
2. Heaven can wait: the best of
3. Heaven can Wait: The Best Ballads
4. The best of Meat Loaf
5. To hell and Back:The very best of Meat Loaf
