Rare Philippinian pressing

Although it took Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman another 12years to come up with the marketing gimmick of positioning an albumas a deliberate follow-up to the multi-platinum Bat Out of Hell,Dead Ringer was the real Bat Out of Hell II. Once again, Steinmanwrote extended, operatic songs with hyperbolic lyrics (I’ll KillYou If You Don’t Come Back was one title) and organized a backupband anchored by E Street Band members Max Weinberg (drums) and RoyBittan (keyboards), while Meat Loaf sang with a passion all themore compelling for its hint of the ridiculous. In the U.S., withfour years separating Bat and Dead Ringer, nobody cared much. Butin the U.K., where Bat was still going strong, Dead Ringer toppedthe charts, and the title track, featuring a perfectly cast Cher asduet singer, went Top Ten. In retrospect, the missing ingredient inthe album is Todd Rundgren’s pop sensibility as producer; he wasthe one who knew how long the compositions could go for maximumdramatic impact without becoming exhausting. It was Rundgren whomade Bat Out Of Hell a fiery listening experience — producinghimself, Meat Loaf often sounded only warmed over.
