Testify Universal Promo...
 
... has anyone ever seen one or got one?

SamCat 03 Oct 2008 10:16
Well i've got one so they cant be that rare lol!!

meatloaf-unofficial 03 Oct 2008 10:47
I see them on ebay now and again - supposedly so I'll get round to getting one sometime lol

Wario 03 Oct 2008 11:29
I do, its basically the same as CHSIB just less content and Decedent Wish.

On my version, the edit of DIST, Testify, and Decedent Wish are different.

Kev 03 Oct 2008 12:03
Really! I didn't even know there were any until yesterday :(

Has anyone got any pix?!?

evil nickname 03 Oct 2008 12:24
No pix, but some information on my website.

Basically, it's a CD (can't recal if it was a CDr or a factory pressed one) in a plastic sleeve, with a plain white paper insert with the track titles. Slightly different versions for some of the songs, most notably 'Testify'.

Kev 03 Oct 2008 13:09

I didn't know this existed either and felt the same "something I ain't got" feeling...

now rectified that feeling, promo cd on it's way from France.

rockfenris2005 29 Oct 2008 02:52
Isn't the cover for this what was on the Meat Loaf US Fan Club Site in 2001?

No. There is no cover, just a printed inlay with track titles.

I haven't heard of either of them either, so that's something else to be on the lookout for.

Kev 04 Nov 2008 10:59
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Can't find one anywhere!

I still need this and a CHSIB vinyl :(

Not impressed!

I'm guessing there is lots more stuff I don't have! I got 'Back Into Hell Again' from Germany the other day, it's a 'Best Of' with 3 Steinman Bad For Good tracks, Heros and Eddies Teddy. Was a pretty good find I think. Never come across Meat's Eddies Teddy and Heros on CD before?

evil nickname 04 Nov 2008 11:38
"Eddie's Teddy" is from the Roxy Cast version of The Rocky Horror Show. The CD should still be in print.

When "Heroes" was first released as a single, there was a CD version. Still haven't been able to locate a copy myself. (Not that I'm really trying, seeing what they're going for.) Besides that, it does appear on several 'budget' compilations. And not nescesarily exclusive Meat Loaf themed ones. I got one on a 'Rock Hits' compilation, with tracks by Alice Cooper ("Freedom"), Saxon ("Ride Like the Wind") and Great White ("Rock Me").

Yea 100 bucks a pop is too much, but I posted the CD version on my website for whoevers interested.

The pasge aint done yet with linkage but whatevers in green you can hear a short 30 second clip. Heroes is the entire CD version for those who cant afford the 150 bucker.

Link's in my sig

Heroes is better than half of BBIS.

Half of BBIS: Masculine, Burning Down, BBIS, Rock & Roll hero, and Getting Away With Murder

Masculine and Burning Down, IMO are better than Heroes but heroes does beat the rest.

I practically live on ebay, and I haven't seen them. The only time I saw the vinyl CHSIB it went for an outrageously expensive price and I was saving for the UK concerts at the time. I've got Bat 2 & 3 and WTTN on vinyl. I have my original vinyl of BOOH somewhere, and the picture disc, and a blood red vinyl of it as well.

Dave 26 Nov 2008 19:01
I got the first ever copy of the "test pressing" off of eBay. Let me tell you..that was a fight for the death!

carole 27 Nov 2008 09:03
I know what you mean, I just finally got the Bat 2 vinyl picture disc and paid a pretty penny for it too, a lot more than I really wanted to spend, especially as the way the Aussie dollar is at the moment, but I've been trying to get it for ages and was determined this time it would be mine!!!!!

Yeah I paid 31 pounds for it, but when converted was 80 Aussie dollars. I hate currency conversion. I long for a day when the Aussie dollar is worth more than British pounds and US dollars, although it was almost equal to the US dollar back in July when I went to the UK. It ain't fair!!!!!!

I remember when it was released! I had the first copy in HMV on release day and it was absolutely everywhere... I was in my prime, being a big Meat fan, when this was released!!!

Guy 15 Jul 2014 16:33
Has anybody got a copy of the aussie chsib?
In the process of buying one but the person reckons it has no extra live tracks even though it is the same polydor number.
Are they 'hidden'....not listed on the booklet???
Thanks.

I honestly wouldn't bother. The live tracks are very poor. :down:

That i can agree with!!

Love the horn stuff during the last few minutes with the we will rock you beat.

Dave 16 Jul 2014 15:03
Every time I listen to the live cut of Love You Out Loud from that recording, I get extremely melancholy thinking of how great of a song that is live and wishing it had remained in the show for more than just the first couple of nights of the tour. Such brilliant sounds coming from my speakers when I listen to it.

Evil One 16 Jul 2014 20:52
Every time I listen to it, it makes me realise how much better Paul Crook is at mixing than Kasim.

You'd have thought that they'd be used to performing on stage as they're a national choir.

Maybe not for something like that. Look at the age of them.
