Description
“Bad Attitude� is Meat Loaf’s fourth studio album. Representing an upswing in the singer’s career, the album features four singles; ‘Nowhere Fast’, ‘Modern Girl’, ‘Surf's Up’ and ‘Piece Of The Action’. After the phenomenal success of debut LP “Bat Out Of Hell� in 1977 (34 million copies and counting), Meat Loaf followed it with 1981’s “Dead Ringer�, another sizeable hit, with both albums showcasing the mercurial song writing talents of Jim Steinman. Having then parted company with Steinman, 1983’s “Midnight At The Lost And Found� found the singer in somewhat of a commercial dip, until 1984’s “Bad Attitude�. It features two Steinman penned tunes, ‘Surf’s Up’, previously recorded for Jim Steinman’s solo debut “Bad For Good� in 1981 plus ‘Nowhere Fast’, which had originally been written for the soundtrack to the movie “Streets Of Fire�. There are also two notable duets on this record; The Who’s Roger Daltrey appears on the title track, whilst Clare Torry, who is probably best known for her vocals on Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side Of The Moon�, duets on ‘Modern Girl’. This jewel case edition features extensive liner notes, 16 page booklet, plus plenty of rare artwork and memorabilia.
