Our version of "The Very Best Of" - Page 3

**The Flying Mouse** · 18 Sep 2002, 03:52

Go for your life Meatles.I don't think you'll get any complaints.

Tim · 18 Sep 2002, 08:45

A 3 CD set?? Wow, very cool Meatles. I can't hardly wait!!!

heat · 18 Sep 2002, 10:56

A 3 CD set??? that'd be wayyyyyyy cool

if thats the case, how about..

Everything is Permitted,
Masculine and
Rock and Roll Hero ?

just a few ideas, meatles.

And maybe some of the "classic" stuff, like Back into Hell, Pray Lewd or some other, you know what i mean Meatles. Or from the Cd the Philharmonic Orchestra plays Meat loaf.

And do you also put some Jim Steinman songs on it? Otherwise I would think, songs like It's all coming back to me now, Twentieth Century Fox.

This gona be a hell of a CD!!!

This should be a 4CD set. On CDMedia.co.uk, you can order $CD jewel cases, so casing will be easy.

As for tracks, I think that the tracks that you ibcludded on the 'draft versin' (see earlier post) should be included.

REQUESTS:

* Anything Fior Love - notp - not storytellers
* All Coming Back To me now - Original Sin
* Pray Lewd
* And tracks from the RPO album and the early JS musicals

My God This is going to be great!

Chou 4 now,
Danny
Ps: Call it: "The Best Hits of Meat Loaf & Friends"

Whoa...!

I think we're getting a bit carried away here. Yes; a three CD set would be good, but I don't think we should have any of the old Steinman stuff on it. That's going a bit far. Sure, ML's versions of Stark Raving Love (if he ever did it), Bad For Good and Dance In My Pants and stuff would be good, but we don't want to go too far, do we...?

Is there a live version of 'Rock And Roll Hero'? Stuff like that would be good. And what about songs that most people wont have - didn't he do a version of 'American Trilogy' for example? Stuff like that. And what about the time he sang the American National Anthem...? And let's not forget 'Let It Be' and 'Come Together' from the 'Not a Dry Eye...' single. And the live version of 'Where The Rubber Meets The Road' from whatever single it was is good too. And are there live versions of 'Where Angels Sing' and 'Runnin' For The Red Light'? If so, put 'em on...!

Wouldn't people rather see the lesser-known gems like these on this kind of collection?

But for God's sake don't put his version of 'Oh What A Beautiful Morning' on it.

Meatles · 18 Sep 2002, 21:48

I don't think that MEAT LOAF AND FRIENDS would be a good idea, since I don't own stuff like Pandoras Box or Bad For Good (I do have vinyl, but cant transfer it).

PS> Space Monkey, I agree that Rock n Roll Hero should be on there, I think of it as MLS signature song : "burnin it up, in a smoke filled club"??
Altough I dont have a live recording of it.

DISC 3
Anything for Love - NOTP
Back into Hell
Everything is Permitted
Johnny Be Good - London 1978
What You See is What You Get
Midnight at The Lost and Found - Bad Attitude Live! 1985
Everything Louder Than Everything Else - New York 1993
Bat Out Of Hell (replaced from CD2) - Storytellers 1999

How does this sound for a 3rd disc

heat · 19 Sep 2002, 00:12

I think it sounds absolutely crackin', Meatles...I can't wait

Any idea when they are gonna be ready to put out?

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease could you confirm when the final version of this CD will be available and the full track lists (with runtimes for each track)

I am planning to design a full CD Cover set, and post it on CDCovers.cc (Lets have a 'name the album' competition while we're here!)

Happy times and places,
Danny

Tim · 19 Sep 2002, 14:04

To name the album, i would say something like this: Between the Bats
Or, Between the Bats: A strange world.

3 cd's, that's 3 times around the 70 minutes. Cool!!

Anonymous · 19 Sep 2002, 14:33

Let me tell you a story about Calafornia 2002

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand...
Meanwhile, in Hyde Park, London, a big guy from Texas was doing a Concert

I think you get my drift!

Either that or the STORYTELLERS mix

Thanx
Danny

Meatles · 19 Sep 2002, 21:28

I JUST FOUND OUT SOMETHING I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT, BUT ON MY 1987 AUDIENCE RECORDING FROM DUESSELSDORF THERE IS A VERSION OF "SPECIAL GIRL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I think the album should have a creative name, like "BETWEEN THE BATS: ULTIMATE MEAT LOAF" or possibly "THE WAY OUT OF HELL: THE MEAT LOAF COLLECTION". YES, "BETWEEN BATS: LIVE AROUND THE WORLD" sounds good, but it isn't all live!

If all goes well, I think this compilation should be done over the weekend.
Everything looks great and ready for processing. I will inform everyone about it.

heat · 19 Sep 2002, 21:41

What about - 'BATS ON THE BRINK....MIGHTY MEAT MOMENTS' As a title?Just an idea..

Cheers Meatles.

I'll look at the board on Monday for full set lists and lengths, so I can start on the CD jewel case inserts. I have chosen a title, but I won't tell you what it is yet.

See you later

Meatles,

I've done a frontpiece, now I'm working on the back

I'll Email you, tonight.

Thanks
Danny

PS: It's Called MEATLOAF - THE WAY OUT OF HELL

Tim · 24 Sep 2002, 19:11

Danny, to be honest, i don't like the title. Well, he, but's that my opinion. But how did you made it? Photoshop and Illustrator? or do you use 3d max? I'm very curious about it. Cause i usually work with Illustrator and Photoshop. Corel isn't good, i think. But i'm curious about how it will look.

Meatles · 24 Sep 2002, 22:23

I think the title is fine, it was my suggestion, but it is not my say on the title so whatever people come up with is fine.

Anonymous · 25 Sep 2002, 13:08

I like the title.

Has anyone got any live bootleg CDs they'd be prepared to put onto CD for me...? I can send out blank CDs if anyone could spare the time...?
Cheers.

Tim · 30 Oct 2002, 20:05

Meatles,

I've got you cd: The Way out of Hell. but why did you cut Rock And Roll Dreams and Into The Frying Pan?

That's to bad. I think!
The rest of the cd's are nice

Anonymous · 31 Oct 2002, 01:18

Tim

I had some problems with my burner and therefor didn't get the full FRYING PAN and ROCK N ROLL DREAMS. So I am doing the compilation over again.
