Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell

There is a series of 60-minute documentaries entitled Classic Albums and each one takes a small peek into what it takes to make a classic album. I got lucky. I got to see how Bat Out Of Hell was made. If there was ever an example of catching lightning in a bottle, this is it. In a time period when the last thing that would sell is a rock album that borders on theatrical, Bat Out Of Hell managed to defy everyone.

This IS THE Rock Opera album.
J.Steinmann never shied from posing as a modern-day Wagner, and in Meat Loaf (nee Aday), he found his Heldentenor.

Too bad Meat Loaf chickened out and wouldn't sing for Steinman again for 20 years. Steinman can write, but NEEDS such a performer/ singer.
