35 years ago this week, the title track from Meat Loaf's million selling album was issued as a single in Australia. It managed to get as high as #26, which was impressive considering it was never going to be an easy cut back from nearly 10 minutes in length to half its duration for the 7" version. The album was an instant mega hit downunder, and the first single 'You took the words' had also been a garganutan success, so follow ups were difficult. In America it was 'Two out of three ain't bad' that scored the biggest sales.

I am posting here the classic 'All Revved Up With No Place To Go' - another fab track from the album. It has definite wall of sound ingredients as well as a throwback to earlier decades with the full orchestration. It features another killer vocal from Meat and awesome production from the wunderkind Jim Steinman. It was never issued as a single, but it stands up just as well as the other songs on 'Bat Out of Hell', testament to what a marvellous album it is from start to finish. 

Enjoy!
