New Hits Out Of Hell...
 

... With 2 bonus tracks...

Link is in my sig :)

Is it coming out on DVD as well?

I have no desire to rush out and buy it.

oh go on! It's totally worth it for the 2 extra tracks! :P

That's what always bugs me about these compilations. How hard would it have been to put a couple of rare tracks on it? Take A Number or something from the Nassau Colliseum show?

Hardly a hit though was it?

I wonder why anyone would want to buy it... a Meat Loaf fan will ideally have all those songs mentioned there, plus many more ofcourse. Why spend an extra 12 pounds when not really needed?

Possibly one of the most pointless Meat Loaf releases ever (no Bat III jokes, please!), it won't even appeal to those who would buy a CD for the "new" artwork on the cover :?

is it even worth it when you get most of those songs on the very best of meat loaf and i can't see people spending £12 just for two songs when one of those was a hit in the 90's

it's all above trying to make a little bit more money from a compiliation, as if there aren't enough out at the minute....always a new young meat loaf fan somewhere that can be tapped up, or someone that hasn't listened to him since Bat 1

:twisted: Actually, they were both hits in the 90's :mrgreen:
(i'm gonna pay for my wise ass ways when she gets home :doh: )

The most interesting thing is that there is material from two record companies on the album.
Is that the first time that's happened since VBO? :shock:

yes but what i meant for that wise arse :lol: was that anything for love was a bigger hit than i'd lie for you

It is indeed, it's strange that Sony would go to the trouble to get the 2 EMI tracks on there and then just ship it out with new artwork. They would have to pay for the 2 tracks and a percentage of each sale would go to EMI too. So yeah, it's a strange one.

Possible reasons:

1. They are bored themselves by all those compilations that don't include anything new.
2. They've flooded the market with so many uninteresting CDs that they have to offer something that's at least a little different.
3. They've realized that customers aren't that stupid to think that Meat Loaf's career ended in 1984.

:twisted:

I guess paying for those two tracks won't ruin them. ;)

Ah bollocks :))

Pud :twisted:

I knew you'd be reading :lol:

When are we getting the 5 albums, OWNED BY SONY, digitally remastered and re-released? NOOO, WE'LL GET 10 MILLION COMPILATIONS BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.

Edit: OK, "Bat Out Of Hell" doesn't count because they've already done that to death. But, come on, "Dead Ringer" and "Bad Attitude" could use a good remaster.

Dead Ringer and Bad Attitude are long overdue for remastering. In fact didn't Kasim say in his recent intervie that they'd actually recorded about 5 songs for a Bat2 back in 1979, something like that, adding those little chestnuts as a bonus for Dead Ringer would be the bogs dollocks.

Pud :twisted:

Yea but its been EXACTLY 30 years. the original is probably so diluted it makes the CD master of Dead Ringer probably look like a blue ray

It would still be worth a listen and a selling point for the CD.

Pud :twisted:

rubbish, there have been many good remastered albums older than that, granted maybe not as top notch as newer ones but still worth it.

I don't understand. What original is so diluted? The masters? What masters? "Dead Ringer" or Meat's attempt at "Bad For Good"? Jim said in an interview in 1983 that they couldn't get anything out of Meat for that album so nothing exists.

And yet Kasim in an interview this past week said that Meat and Jim recorded about 5 songs for a Bat2 back in 1979.
Ryan do your research thoroughly ;)

Pud :twisted:

And Kasim was the co-producer and songwriter of "Bad For Good"? Jim specifically said they worked on the tracks but couldn't get anything out of Meat Loaf, which was the reason Meat Loaf did "Dead Ringer" because he was so frustrated with the other songs. It's all there in the interview where Jim talks about "The Dream Engine". Kasim may be mistaken. I definitely believe he's mistaken about the time line for "Back Into Hell". It wasn't started in 1991 because the "Hits Out Of Hell" DVD said the album was going to be released that year and Meat Loaf, himself, said they began work on the album in the 1980s.

No offense, but I'm going to stick with Meat and Jim's word on this.

Because they never tell porkies.
