If they have recorded it, my guess give it 6-9 months.

They have recorded it. Cast are saying end of May 2017...

Not the Braver vocals, but I wonder if Meat's sounding different now? he's sure lost a lot of weight

[eltmatt]

Good point, has it been nearly 2 years since he actually recorded that? A long vocal rest along with weight loss may have done him some good.

This month?

Seems a little unlikely.

Or a lot unlikely. If it is out by end of 2017 I would be happy.

The noises are that it will be out in time to sell for the London shows...

Seems to me there is a mix up here with talking about a "cast album" and one of a "guest album" surely.
I cannot see Meat appearing on a cast album.

Given the decent success of the musical previewing in Manchester, why bother with a guest album at all? The songs already appeared on Bat 1 & 2 etc. What more is there to "guest". How can the songs seriously be improved in a short space of time? Boy George singing Two out of Three? Tom Jones singing For Crying out loud? One Direction singing Bat out of Hell? Seriously?
I don't buy it... at all.

That would be amazing turn-around time. Hope what you hear is correct.

To be honest that is a very realistic turnaround for a live album (if that's what it is - I'm not 100% clear tbh).

It's just been announced that Meat will be starring in a genre show on syfi/netflix called Ghost Wars. I actually heard about this via Jim before Christmas sometime (??? I think ... maybe it was January, I don't remember), and I'm glad that it's finally out there and imminent. Looking forward to catching it.

Hadn't thought about that possibility. I thought I saw some of the cast in a studio in a photo someplace but that could be for something else. There is a killer live sounding version of "Body" on Youtube posted recently.
