It seems to me that the edition sent to radio stations may be merely a disc which gives them a greater varety of length edits to play. On this disc it doesn't make it clear whether the 14 April "release date" is for these edits to be used, or for some new edition CD to be released in shops.
I certainly have had nothing in writing from Mercury which spells out clearly that a new version of CHSIB is to be released. Time I guess will tell. |
Looking at the promo information on the new edit copies of the "CHSIB" single distributed to radio stations it appears clear enough that a 14th July re-release date was originally intended:
Following his recent Top 10 GOLD album of the same name & sales of 50 million albums including the 5th biggest selling album of all time, Mercury Records will make this brand new edit available to coincide with the great man's UK visit in early July. Meat Loaf will then return again for a full UK Arena tour in November - already 150,000 tickets sold! Produced by Peter Mokran (Backstreet Boys, Flaming Lips, R. Kelly etc.).
NEW DATE: 14 JULY
Unfortunately this would now certainly not seem to be happening which looks like another missed opportunity with all the media and TV attention Meat is receiving in the UK right now.
