Meatloaf OZ Reissue LP Bat out of hell EX ’78 Epic ELPS3860 Pop Rock
OZ Reissue LP released in 1978 on Epic Records. Cat: ELPS3860. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which has some light age marks and is in Excellent condition.   There is no other album like Bat Out of Hell, unless you want to count the sequel. This is Grand Guignol pop epic, gothic, operatic, and silly, and it's appealing because of all of this. Jim Steinman was a composer without peer, simply because nobody else wanted to make mini-epics like this. And there never could have been a singer more suited for his compositions than Meat Loaf, a singer partial to bombast, albeit shaded bombast. The compositions are staggeringly ridiculous, yet Meat Loaf finds the emotional core in each song, bringing true heartbreak to "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" and sly humor to "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." There's no discounting the production of Todd Rundgren, either, who gives Steinman's self-styled grandiosity a production that's staggeringly big but never overwhelming and always alluring.

Tracks : Bat out of hell/ You took the words right out of my mouth (Hot summer night)/ Heaven can wait/ All revved up with no place to go/ Two out of three ain’t bad/ Paradise by the dashboard light/ For crying out loud.   There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has a few light scuff marks and is in Excellent condition. Cover is in Near Mint condition.
