what’s in your cd player?
quote:
and “Rock and Roll Dreams Come Though”
Mary Beth, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the original version of this. When Jim Steinman originally wrote the intended sequel to Bat out Hell, Mr Loaf decided to pass and so he recorded the song (and album) himself. The album ‘Bad for Good’ is good for a laugh or two , and the original song is preferable to the ‘remake’ that accompanied the official follow up in IMAO.
Bad for Good was accompanied by the bonus single “Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through”, which oddly didn’t feature on the album itself (and yet, somehow remains Steinman’s most popular solo song). If you can, try and track down this version on audiogalaxy (assuming you missed it the first time around. apologies if you already know about it in its original incarnation). Although it has been officially ‘blocked’, you can still access an unblocked version via Jim Steinman’s artist page (by searching according to song name instead of song popularity).
