Our version of "The Very Best Of"

Meatles · 27 Aug 2002, 01:17

Hi people

I am going to make a compilation called "The Very Best", and I want to
know what people think the compilation should have on it. I will send a copy to everyone who emails me and in return you can send me a blank disc?

So could everyone please put a reply with 1 request? I have high quality
80 minute discs!

PS> I will surely put FCOL on it! Please tell me whether you want studio
version or specific live version (remeber I have lots of live stuff).

'I'd do anything for love' storytellers version- it's the best I've heard it as his voice sounds fantastic- also include Hot Patootie as it's often left out as Meat song however it's fantastic.

Tim · 27 Aug 2002, 11:04

What do you think of Out of the Frying pan. I think the Cardiff version. That one is great.

And also, great other songs would be Rock and roll dreams and Jonny B. Goode.

But i think you have to make a double Cd of it, couse there are so much great songs.

Michel · 27 Aug 2002, 18:13

Yes, I also agree with Out Of The Frying Pan from cardiff.

Maybe you also have to put on the CD the birmingham 1988 versions of Bad For Good and I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us.

And offcourse the More Than You Deserve from 1974.

You've got to have the Live Around The World version of Life Is A Lemon.It rocks.

Anonymous · 29 Aug 2002, 20:05

I am pretty sure that the Live Around the World version of Lemon is the same as the one he did at the Beacon Theatre in 1995, they sound alot alike!

**The Flying Mouse** · 29 Aug 2002, 20:24

Yes, I think they are both the same recording.

i would love to hear read em & weep live live

Michel · 30 Aug 2002, 18:36

Meat played that song only once on stage.
He played it on november 20th 1999 on the storytellers tour. I read it on this page:

But if you don't have this version, the original would be great for the album!

Objects in the rear view mirror and Heaven can wait from Live Around the World because Steinman plays live on them.

Bat out of hell & Two out of three aint bad from the bottom line, because they're the best versions i've heard him sing during his tours from the late 70's.

Amnesty is granted live is really good, i think it's a b side on running from the red light.

Meatles · 03 Sep 2002, 23:27

Thats 13! I think I will need maybe 20 to make it a 2 CD set.

I would like to add in "I Love You So I Told You A Lie", and the original
"What You See (with Stoney)".

After all, The Stoney and Meatloaf song was Meats chart debut!

Thats 15!

heat · 04 Sep 2002, 00:21

Meatles,
You gotta put 'I'll Kill You I f You Don't Come Back' and 'Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are' on it..'cos they are just two fantastic songs that touch me somplace inside...sounds soppy, but true...

Meatles · 04 Sep 2002, 03:30

Hi Heat

I will be sure to put "Ill Kill You" and "Objects" on the compilation.

People want the New York 1993 version of it, is this OK?

I think the NY version is a little more powerful.

Tim · 04 Sep 2002, 19:35

I would also say a live version of Midnight at the lost and found, and maybe, don't know if there is any, but a live version of Getting away with the murder.

Meatles, i think it's a hell of a job. Cause there are so much great songs. It's so hard to choose. But i'm curious about the cd you making.....

Meatles · 04 Sep 2002, 22:16

Hi Tim

I have so many different versions of Midnight Live.

- Wembley 1983
- Bad Attitude Live 1985
- Bottom Line of NY 1985
- Offenbach 1984
- Wembley 1987
- Birmingham 1988
- Dillengen 1990
- Kologne 1991
- Beacon Theatre 1995

I believe there is more!

Which version do you prefer Tim?

Meatles · 04 Sep 2002, 22:22

If anyone wants to know how I am making this compilation, this is how.

- Hook my stereo up to my computer

- use the direct cut function and create wave files of each song, my wave files are very high quality!

- Than compile them and burn them

This gives me really really good quality for sure.

Does anyone want a version of Heaven Can Wait?

I have the studio version, the Nassau Coliseum 1978 version, Mannheim 1994 version, Cardiff 1993, New York 1994 with Jimmy.

Meatles · 05 Sep 2002, 02:38

The compilation list is going along great, I properly counted 13 songs.

But they are all Live, so do you want some studio tracks? or do you want it to be "THe Very Best of ..... Live"?

The List is this

disc 1.
ANYTHING FOR LOVE - Storytellers 1999 (8'00)
LIFE IS A LEMON - Beacon Theatre 1995 (9'00)
ROCK N ROLL DREAMS - Mannheim 1994 (8'30)
TWO OUT OF THREE AINT BAD - Bottom Line 1977 (6'00)
HEAVEN CAN WAIT - New York 1993 (5'40)
BAD FOR GOOD - Birmingham 1988 (10'00)
IM GONNA LOVE HER FOR BOTH OF US - Wembley 1982 (8'00)
WHAT YOU SEE - Cleveland 1994 (5'00)
ALL REVVED UP - My Fathers Place 1977 (9'00)

disc 2
OUT OF THE FRYING PAN - Cardiff 1993
YOU TOOK THE WORDS - Meltdown 1987
AMNESTY IS GRANTED - Beacon Theatre 1995
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD - New York 1994

But I need some more, this is on its way to becoming a good compilation!
