I had to make some very difficult decisions, but I thought this was fine enough as an introductory piece to the general public, who might not be aware of who Jim Steinman is: 1. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad - Meat Loaf 2. Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf and Ellen Foley 3. Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through - Jim Steinman 4. Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply 5. Total Eclipse Of The Heart - Bonnie Tyler 6. Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler 7. Read 'Em And Weep - Barry Manilow 8. Left In The Dark - Barbra Streisand 9. Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young - Fire Inc. 10. I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meat Loaf and Lorraine Crosby 11. It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion 12. We're Still The Children We Once Were - BOOH Cast or a special new recording. This is what will make the diehards go mad, frantically trying to get a copy with the newspaper. I would call the album "There's always something magic - Jim Steinman's Greatest Hits", and the cover art would be Michael Whelan's exquisite painting End of Nature. > I was just thinking about alternative ways to distribute > albums.
