Oh my goodness. How different would things have been for both Meat and Jim if Meat hadn't lost his voice just after selling so many millions of albums? Like Conas said earlier in this thread, we'll just never know. But why do you think that Jim suddenly decided to put RARDCT on the EP which was free with the Bad For Good album? Why was it on an EP? Didn't they have room on the main album? From wikipedia: On the original vinyl release, "The Storm" and "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through" were the A-side and B-side, respectively, of a 33-rpm 7" single, enclosed with the album. These tracks, according to Steinman's concept, are supposed to be the prelude and epilogue, respectively, of the album. The position of these tracks varies on the various CD versions. Some use the correct order, starting with "The Storm" and ending with "Rock and Roll Dreams", while others place both tracks at the end, or place "Rock and Roll Dreams" after "Stark Raving Love" and "The Storm" at the end of the album. Also, the spoken word epilogue to "Left in the Dark" is omitted from some CD versions. | |
