OK,it's approx 1989.I'm about 13 years old.I'm sitting on my mum's living room floor.I'm bored.The TV is on but i'm not taking much interest.

Then an advert for Woolworths comes on.They're advertising their music department.It cuts to a scene of a buisness man in a pin strip suit at home,using an umberella to play air guitar and I hear a voice scream.....
LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL I'LL BE GONE WHEN THE MORNING COMES
I was never much into music before this,but that couple of seconds hit me like a sledge hammer.I just thought man,I gotta hear more of that sound

I knew that the song was by some guy called Meat Loaf,because I remember that my brother had an album by him called Bat Out Of Hell,but i'd never botherd to listen too it

.Unfortunatly he'd lost the tape

.So I did what every teenager does in a time of crisis,I went and bugged mummy and daddy about it

.
Next time I was in town with my mum,we looked for a tape with the song Bat Out Of Hell on it.My mum bought me a compilation tape called Rock 'N' Roll Hero (from Woolworths

)with Bat on it.The version that's on that tape is Live at Wembley 1987.
That was the hook.I've been a fan ever since

.

Thanks Woolies for the introduction.
Thanks mum for buying the tape.
John (my brother)You ....,why didn't you tell me that Bat is this good

.
And of course,thanks Meat for the many hours of pleasure your music has brought.
