What are the hardest to find meat loaf songs??? What was the hardest for you to find????

Extremely hard to find (and usually VERY expensive if you do!) is the original 45 by Popcorn Blizzard of Hello/Once Upon A Time on the Magenda label.

The original 45 on the RSO label of More Than You Deserve (completely different production to the version on Dead Ringer)/Presence Of The Lord is also pretty hard to track down.

Another one that can be difficult to find is the full version of Hearts On Fire on the Car Trouble soundtrack LP.

No, it's not bad!

They're not the easiest Meat recordings to find.

A little more info:

Hello/Once Upon A Time was Meat's first known record. He was frontman of the band Popcorn Blizzard and they recorded the 2 songs, pressed the single and distributed it themselves around the Michigan area.

The 1973 RSO version of More Than You Deserve was recorded during the time Meat was appearing in the Jim Steinman/Michael Weller musical in New York. It was backed with a cover of the Eric Clapton song Presence Of The Lord. Although not commercially released some copies seem to have "escaped" and can occasionally be found. You can read what Meat says about this single in his autobiography.

Both tracks can also be found on the "Michigan Mixture vol. 1" (bootleg) LP on the Clinging Hysteria label. I was lucky enough to come across a copy of that a couple of years ago.
