Hi Bright Eyes

Many thanks for your extremely detailed reply to my 'Bat Out Of Hell Live' post. You have a very powerful way of arguing a point. This does not mean that you are always right but it does mean that you would make a wonderful lawyer, if you are not one already.

I was fascinated by your theory about the 'Steinman Sound' and how it is created. That made me see things in a slightly different way. Would you say that the 'Steinman Sound' is a factory process like the Andy Warhol factory coming up with the Velvet Underground sound?

I still disagree on two points.

1). That the Melbourne Symphony recording was going to be cheesy no matter what happened because Jim's music doesn't lend itself to symphonic recording and Jim being involved would have made no difference.

If Jim had been involved, surely he would have been able to stop the recording becoming what one poster called "muzak".

Jim is a great composer. He will be remembered in two hundred years time. He belongs in the same category as Wagner. And he is a great producer. As good as George Martin.

I can assure you that he would have made a difference.

2). That Jim has lost the right to the Bat Out Of Hell brand.

Actually he has the theatrical right to the trade mark. Although I must admit that it's a sticky legal issue. Can you remember when Roger Waters and David Gilmour went to court over the Pink Floyd brand?

Anyway, it was nice to hear from you.

Best regards,

Mr.Egg
