This I agree with wholeheartedly. I don't want to knock Jim Steinman, but I just don't see much evidence of him delivering these days. Meat on the other hand has worked continuously through all the years since BOOH, toured relentlessly, issued albums, kept moving forward, and has found his own new style, which I love and hope to hear more of. I have many Steinman songs which Meat has recorded. I love them, but I have them and don't need some gigantic compendium of them all over again, nor do I feel the need to have others added.
Yes, Meat always holds the door open to recording with Jim again. That's the kind of man he is. He knows what he owes to their partnership and their friendship, and he honours it. But I think to take that as an indication they will be working together again (let alone on something of this scale) is an assumption that is flawed, and I don't frankly see the extensive and time-consuming project that the original question asked in this thread would take to be likely to happen. I'd prefer that time to be devoted to Meat continuing in his new style frankly, bringing me fresh material, new arrangements, and continuing his new adventure in rock and roll.
Not sure where the million and one comes from
There may be a number of the far lesser sized group on this forum who want this to happen. But deduct one
