That's what I'm curious about. I used to think I could hear Meat Loaf humming at the very start of Jim's "Rock and roll dreams". > > • Why did meat record so FEW steinman tracks thru-out the > 80s?

Maybe he wanted to record these songs but Jim said, "why don't we save it for Bat 2?" I remember reading once that they started talking about Bat 2 in 1984! Wish I could find the link for that. > > • did meat ACTUALLY record a finished version of all > coming back for neighbourhood? No idea. And what would have replaced it on the album, storywise? "Martha"? "Where angels sing"? Again, I remember reading once that Jim recommended "Martha" to Meat Loaf. > > Have I missed any other bits and pieces of the meat and > Jim story that beg for a little more explanation?
