It was perfect, the way it all happened. I'm so glad that "Bat out of Hell II" was my introduction to the Jim Steinman world. And it's a bloody great album.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be as popular over here nowadays. You see "Bat out of Hell" all the time, in a hundred different editions, but half the time you won't even find a copy of Bat II.
Also, do you find it funny or annoying that "Anything For Love" was knocked out of the Number One spot by "Mr. Blobby"? Watch the video. It's ridiculous, haha.
