A meeting in 1973 between singer-performer Meat Loaf and songwriter Jim Steinman would change both their lives. Steinman had heard Meat Loaf singing in off Broadway theatre, in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and on a Ted Nugent album and was convinced he was the perfect voice for a rock opera he'd written called Never Land, a Peter Pan update which would evolve into an orchestrated teen drama, Bat Out Of Hell . During twelve months of rehearsal, Meat Loaf and Steinman were rejected by every major record label in the US before producer/performer/musician Todd Rundgren came on board securing them a deal with an Epic subsidiary and agreeing to produce the album. Assembling a bunch of stellar musicians that included himself, members of his band Utopia, singer Ellen Foley, saxophonist Edgar Winter, plus Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg from the E Street band, Rundgren recorded the band tracks live in the studio with minimal overdubs before spending three weeks on the vocals. After six months of meticulous post production, the album's first single "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" was released to radio. Never before had rock music been recorded like this. The single went to number one followed quickly by the album. Subsequent singles "Bat Out of Hell" and "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" went top five and at last count, the Bat Out Of Hell album had sold close to thirty million copies. Digitally re-mastered with three bonus tracks, this timeless album is available as part of the Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell 25th Anniversary Edition.
