Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer (MOCCD13323) CD

“Dead Ringer” was released in 1981, 4 years after the classic multiplatinum album “Bat Out Of Hell”. Jim Steinman wrote and Meat Loaf sang with all his heart backed by the fabulous E Street Band; succeeding again in writing / producing perhaps the most ridiculous and farfetched rock tales, complimented by Bernie Wrightson‘s artwork. “Dead Ringer” is a roller-coaster ride taking you from heavy rock through to beautiful love-drenched ballads and back again (often doing this across the course of a single song) – “seven stunning tracks that have to be heard to be believed.” (Amazon.com) This album reached #1 in the UK Album charts in ’81, while the single “Dead Ringer for Love” (featuring Cher) reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart.
