{"product_id":"meat-loaf-hits-out-of-hell-expanded-edition-music-cd","title":"Meat Loaf - Hits Out Of Hell (Expanded Edition) (Music CD)","description":"By 1984, it appeared as though Meat Loaf's career was over in the U.S. Though he'd had a mammoth hit album just a few years prior (1978's BAT OUT OF HELL), Meat Loaf cut ties with songwriter\/lyricist Jim Steinman by '84, and despite continuing popularity overseas, the larger-than-life singer was having a hard time cutting it back home. The same year, Epic issued the first Meat Loaf \"best of\" set, HITS OUT OF HELL, hoping that it would rekindle interest. The 10-track overview is a fine one, including tracks from all three of Meat Loaf's albums on Epic released up to that point--the aforementioned BAT, as well as 1981's DEAD RINGER, and 1983's MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST \u0026amp; FOUND. While future collections would cover more ground career-wise (namely 1998's THE VERY BEST OF), HITS OUT OF HELL contains many a Meat classic. The epic \"Bat Out of Hell\", melodic ballad \"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad\", the Springsteen-ish \"You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth\", and the Cher duet \"Dead Ringer for Love\" are all here.\r\n","brand":"Not Assigned","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55478013297025,"sku":"88697538762","price":11.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/9050\/5986\/files\/1960638.jpg?v=1774697912","url":"https:\/\/hit.co.uk\/products\/meat-loaf-hits-out-of-hell-expanded-edition-music-cd","provider":"Hit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
