Bat Out Of Hell II Re-issued
 

Coming out on November 27th is the two disk version of Bat Out Of Hell 2 :)

What's on the second disk? Anyone know?

If I remember correctly it's a collection of various edits of the singles that were released e.g. Radio Edit of Anything For Love (ie shorter version) etc.

Unless you are a collector or don't have a normal version of the CD already - then I wouldn't bother with this personally... :P

I want this!

LOL

or like me, you've worn out your original bat 2, (its been 13 years afterall)

I need to get that. :)

My Bat2 CD was worn out after less than 6 months of having it! LOL

Is this the same one I've had ages?????? Slipcase is cool. Second dics has demo's and edits on it.

There's a couple listed on ebay if anyone's interested.

FORGET THAT!!!!!!! There's a DVD with it that's got the videos from the Bat 2 Picture Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yahoooo :D
(only point to note here is will these live recordings be the same as those on live around the world or are these from a single concert (Hudson theater)??? - shame the mtv live videos are not included but this is still great I think and will be on my Christmas list!)

(Above set is available for pre order via Play.com also for £15.99 Delivered in the UK!) :D

Who's willing to bet that disc 2 will be the BOOH:Live with the MSO disc with a 1993 Anything for Love slapped on?

Wow, I might actually get this then. Good grief. A semi-decent re-issue... what's the world coming too these days???

@EvilNickname - yep, I recon you'd be bob-on.

VERY interesting....

Not sure if that's how you do it

Hey it works, check it out!!!!!

yeah but try the play.com link mate, it saves you a couple of quid.

http://play.com/Music/CD/PROD/3-/325...l/Product.html

Cheers m8, nice price!!!!

So which is better the Bat 2 dvd or Bat 2 vhs with interviews, videos, and live performances?

Anything you want actually matey. Univeral own the MOS recordings, Virgin/EMI own the Bat 2 era recordings. So that won't happen :P

This is sounding fooking amazing! :D

Well that could be it - but he did AFL at Sydney - why not just use that?

any information about the included interview (length, etc.)

See my post T-Rex :P

Yes it's sounding seriously fantastic, and that's great news right there. :D

It wasn't that long ago I bought the "deluxe edition" of bat 2, but I was seriously disappointed with it, so this is timely. :-)

That sounds really great!!! can't wait. Still the best album.

But does anyone knows this.... couple of years back i saw the Bat 2 album, but is has a black and white cover and it contains all the songs, but live. It was also a live album as far as i can remember. Is this the same album... ?? And does anyone knows more about it?

But lookin gforward to this one too!!!

Not sure if you misread there, I meant it WON'T be the MOS recordings and IS the LATW live recordings. EMI/Virgin own the Bat 2 recordings, LATW recordings and the video rights.

I meant that the package sounds fantastic :)

But what's easier: licence your recording to another label in order to make some easy money yourself, or do all the work yourself?

LATW is released on Tommy Boy Records, and unless Wikipedia is wrong, they're not part of EMI.

I think the live recordings could be from the Bat 2 era, or maybe the WTTN era, possibly the one's from Live Around the World. They won't be from MSO recordings, as icwuke said earlier, these are owned by Universal, not Virgin, so they can't include them, unless alot of money has exchanged hands. But my bet is the Bat 2 era, Everything Louder Tour, as some songs live from this era were used as B-sides, for Bat 2 singles, if I ain't mistaken. :D

I think Tommy Boy Records just licensed Meat's recordings from his Virgin time, so possibly, Virgin could still have rights to use these recordings, depends what clauses, were put in place. :D

:confused:

I wonder if Meat understands the whole stuff himself.....

They did, EMI/Virgin own the LATW tracks.

See 'Heaven Can Wait - The Best Of Meat Loaf' - Thats the EMI/Virgin 'best of'.

Its the LATW tracks on the second disk :)

Or alternatively, you could say it's the WTTN B-sides.

Anyway, if the second disc is made up of previously released material, it would be a missed opportunity.

Its the cheap and easy thing to do, thats the point of re-issues. Its not a big re-issue of the album, just something to jump on the back of Bat 3. Much in the same way as the Bat 1 special edition and VBO.

Oh I didn't misread anything. The LATW recordings is exactly what I wanted, I've never owned that album. ;) That and I hate when releases mix and match material from different eras when they really shouldn't.

but one more thing: MOS? You mean MSO, right?

Now it´s all clear! Stupid me!:doh:
I was wondering where´s the connection to Man of Steel....lol

Hehe... yeah. What was it meat said? MSO sounds like a sexually transmitted disease or something? :-)

For anyone reading who is not too sure, it means Melbourne Symphony Orchestra of course. ;)

Two mistakes in a day!!! I'm shocked Pud didn't pick up on that one!

*hangs head in shame* :(

If anybody is still wondering take a look here:))

Hmmmm.... this sounds tempting, especially for the DVD, however I only recently recieved LATW last week, so the live tracks on this edition won't be special to me, nor the album itself which I already have...hmmm decisions lol.

Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell [2cd + Bonus Dvd]
 

Found This on CDWOW.IE but am confused by the second cd...anyone know about this?

Disc 1
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through
It Just Won't Quit
Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)

Paradise By The Dashboard Light
For Crying Out Loud
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

Disc 3
(Bonus DVD)

Think the dvd contains the vids from the Bat2 picture show

ok that'd be disc 3 but what about disc 2?

if it´s the same as was discussed here earlier, then disc 2 contains live versions of the BOOH songs, disc 3 contains the 3 videos and interviews with (I think) Meat and Jim.

Although I´m not sure if it´s the same package.

As in the same versions as live around the world?

Is it the full bat 2 picture show?

1) probably yes, (search for the thread about, there are people who know much more about it than me)
2) no (again: probably) just the three videos + interviews with M&J

We've been over this 3 times already...

Disk 1 - BOOH2
Disk 2 - BOOH Live (LOTW recordings NOT BOOH live with MSO as they're on different labels)
DVD - Music videos from Bat 2

The END!!!!

All i wanted to know, thank you

Are the videos in DD 5.1 or just silly 2.0?

In what way is plain old stereo silly?

It is silly on DVDs. I mean there is 5.1 on DVDs since 1999.

i would stick my neck out on this one and say that the live recordings are what was on the b sides of the singles released at the time. but hope im wrong and this is new stuff

It's also at HMV:))

Not for four quid more I don't :-P

Bat II Collectors Edition/DVD
 

I got an email from Amazon with the new Bat II Collectors Edition! Sounds good and it is released on 27 November 2006!!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...341_pe_snp_I9K

thanks, just went and preordered it there. :D

Threads merged ...

Cheers Andy :P

My copy has just been posted from Play.com. With a bit of luck, it may arrive tomorrow :)

The Songs from Disc 2 are from New York Juli 1993. (Exept FCOL)

I like the Box Set! Its a good Christmas-gift!


sorry for my baaaad english

Roger

Pre-ordered mine - should come Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest :-)

Anything new on the album? Apart from the Live songs and Vids?

Well, if the bonus live CD is sourced from the New York, July 1993 concert--with the possible exception of FCOL--no.
All the other Bat I songs plus Anything for Love from that show are available on the various Bat II singles.

Still, for those of us that don't have the singles, it'll be nice to include them on one disc!

And for those of us who do have the singles... well, let's just say that it's version number seven for my collection.

How can a CD get worn out?????

Probably by using the CD as a frisbe...trying carefully to throw it onto the open CD player tray, then pressing the "play" button on the remote:shock:

Will we see Bat II in charts list again?
:-P

is it worth to buy it?

I already have the regular album and the deluxe.

My goal was waiting for the "anthology" box with new Steinman tracks. ;)

Its ****ing amazing! its worth the money for the live disk alone! I've not heard any of these live tracks, maybe I missed them on the singles but the are NOT the LATW recordings!

EDIT: Paradise and FCOL (Although we know that wasn't really live and done in the studio heh) are from LATW

I'm loving it :)

I'm currently up to 'Two Out Of Three'

Mistakes in the booklet though, Meat was born in 1948 and has a song called Objects in the rear view mirror may be closer than they really are...

but yes, its good :)

Any chance for some pics please icwuke? Just to wet my appetite!

wipeeee

Just got mine today in the post from Amazon - great it is - all live songs recorded in New York in 1993 exept, For Crying Out Loud, that was recorded in 1994 in USA.

Great 3 Disc set :-)!

Several mistakes in the booklet (as mentioned), and whats with the re-typing of the ML logo and "BOOH II" etc on the front? It's a bit off centre....anyways, the live CD is really great! Awesome mental version of BAT on there! All Revved Up is pretty different to how I've heard it done before. The DVD is pretty nice, and the old interviews with Meat and Jim are cool.

Got mine as well last Friday but got no time to watch it... the case looks good! :weee:


Patricia

Pearl? Which video is she in? :confused:

Objects

She is?! Will have to look again lol.

congrats!:)):up:
what exactly is on the DVD and how long is it?
Shame that it´s not released here :(
Think I have to get it shipped from the UK

DVD -
Back Into Hell : Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman Interview.
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Wont Do That)
Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through
Objects In The Rear View Mirror

:)

The DVD contains:

Back Into Hell - Interview with Meat and Jim (about 9 1/2 mins)
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - music video
Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through - music video
Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are - music video

It all lasts about 33 mins I think.

cool I want it!:bicker:

Can you tell if the DVD is playable in the USA? If so, I shall once again use Amazon.uk for a Bat order; got Bat3 limited edition that way.

If you mean on a DVD player connected to a TV, then yes if the player is "Multi-Region". Most players can be made multi-region by going through some weird process of hitting the right buttons on the remote control and turning the machine off and on at the right point. Just google for "multi region hack" and the model number of the player to find out how.

If you mean on a PC, you can switch the DVD drive from region 1 (USA/Canada) to region 2 (Europe) to play the DVD, then switch back afterwards. The DVD playback software will prompt you to do it. HOWEVER you are limited usually to 5 region changes and after that you're stuck. If you end up in (say) region 2 and almost all of your DVDs are region 1, you may regard this as sub-optimal ...

... so what I recommend instead is purchasing some software that allows you to play DVDs from any region without using up your 5 changeovers. I use "DVD Region Free Lite" which works quite nicely, but there are others.

Dave

the live songs are fantastic!!

do the original songs sound any different from the original version?

dunno, went straight to the live disc, did i mention its amazing??

Some of the live tracks are clearly from the MSO DVD :(

For Crying Out Loud
Two Out Of Three
Life Is A Lemon
Out Of The Frying Pan

And maybe more....thought it was supposed to be the NYC 1993 concert? :(

have we got the same album?

Says in the credits all tracks recorded 1993 apart from FCOL which was 1994 and there's definately no orchestra playing. I haven't got live versions at all of Lemon and Frying Pan on mine :panic: :panic: :panic:

No. You're wrong.
there isn't songs from MSO. Only from '93.

And.... I thought would be the live songs of the Bat II picture show.
But it's awesome!!:-P

Odd! I had to get it on ITunes - it is Bat II and it is released November 27th 2006....if you have ITunes, go to the Nederlands store, and search for it. You can play 30 second clips of the songs, and some of them are 100% definitely from the DVD.

Guess the ITunes must be a different version! To the record store I go...

bought it yesterday, it´s really a good buy!
It´s a digipak with a transparent slipcase.

If I´m not wrong, the stereo channels sound a bit different to the original and the instruments are more clear IMO.

The live CD is great too, very good version of BOOH, faster than most of the other versions. The live cd alone would be worth the price.

Good to have the bat2 videos finally on DVD:))
Only thing I wondered about was that the DVD with videos and interviews was PG14!:shock:

Hmmm didn't notice that the DVD in the copy I got was rated ... have to check that! Great having the video's in such perfect quality though isn't it? The re-issue of Bat II and the recent shows have really made me fall in love with Objects again as a song.

Haven't got round to listening to the actual Bat II album yet, so can't comment on if it sounds any better, but the live versions fo the songs sound superb to me too.

Excellent ! I got my copy yesterday and haven't had a chance to check it out yet :)) Now I'm really looking forward to watching the videos.

Thanks
Vicki

Not entirely sure if the UK version is rated too, but my copy got the German rating system FSK 14, think that might be specific for every country.

Still wondered though 'cause I cant really understand it.

PS: listening to all revved up atm, REALLY a great version! very different from the other versions I know, much storytelling in it. :))
