The album did succeed in Britain. It was also the second album of Meat Loaf after BAT OUT OF HELL...
It's surprising that it didn't succeed on the level of BAT because it has the principle ingredients of a BAT album: Meat's the singer, Jim Steinman's the writer and it's got fantasy art on the cover.
Which leads to my conclusion, perhaps it was never Meat Loaf or Jim Steinman who was successful... but the BAT name itself?
Interesting theory
