Oh my goodness. I was just saying to Chika about how enormous and complete your collection is. I bet that promo single is worth something now. How amazing that it said "Escape from Hell". I wonder if Meat Loaf removed it because he was worried about what Jim's reaction would be.

BTW, was it you who once suggested that Bat 3 should be called "Hell On Earth"? I love that title.

Why do you think he did it in 2006? Do you think that an album simply called "The Monster Is Loose" would have done better?

I don't like the fact that the tour film is called "Three Bats Live".

I knew it. Is there any rarity not in your collection?

Do you think an album of Jim rarities would work? Like with the demo of Hermann Munster singing "If Only".

Yes. That's what The Wolf was saying. I have to find time to listen to both in the same sitting. Probably you guys are right.

Apart from the hit single "I'd Lie For You", which I hate because it was such an obvious attempt to cash in on Jim's style.

What did you think of "Not A Dry Eye In The House", the other Diane Warren song? Apparently it went to number 7 in the UK charts.

Oh dear. Will you be able to resist buying it for your collection?
