Talk:Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell

message: * Most of this album's songs are recycled from Jim Steinman's earlier projects such as Bad For Good and Pandora's Box - Original Sin.
Would anyone care to expand on this?  "Recycled" as in they were already released by Steinman, or "recycled" as in they were songs that he worked on in previous projects but never released?

message: I wasn't sure on how to source the cover information that I added: I originaly found it in the booklet that came with the CD, and the infomation is repeated at http://www.michaelwhelan.com/gallerydetail.asp?vsImageId=26&vnMarker=24&vsGalleryid=9

thread_title:  Source for cover infomation 

message: This article is very close to meeting the GA criteria, and I particularly liked the neutral presentation which included favourable and unfavourable reviews of the album.  There is just one small point.  The following paragraph seemed out of place and interrupted the flow of the text:
:Steinman joined the band for a live performance in Toronto, Canada in 1978 with the intention of going through the songs for the new album after the show. However, someone broke into their dressing rooms during the show and stole several possessions, including the new lyric book.[4] One of the songs was "Out of the Frying Pan." In a DVD audio commentary, Meat Loaf says that he doesn't think that Steinman ever got over that theft.[5]
Is this really necessary?  If so please make it clear which band is being talked about. Thanks.
I've decided to put this article on hold as the issue noted above must be dealt with before GA status can be awarded. I hope that this can be addressed within the seven days allowed by on hold, and wish you all the best with your editing... -- Johnfos 23:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I've amended the paragraph in line with your suggestion. I'd like to keep it in, as I feel that the first draft of the album's lyric book being stolen warrants a mention. I've cut it down, though, and merged with the next paragraph. The JPStalk to me 09:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Brilliant, ta :) Only the final of the trilogy to go now! Thanks for reviewing again. The JPStalk to me 11:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good Article nomination

message: Both the cover at the CD name the title of the album with an ellipsis at the end: 'Back into Hell…'.  The spine of the CD does not include this punctuation.  I think the article should include the ellipsis somewhere even if the title is kept as is.  What would be the appropriate way to handle this? JamesLucas (" " / +) 18:15, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Has anyone ever found any background information regarding ELTEE? The reason that I ask is that there's a quote on Deep Purple's "Made in Japan" from 1972 where one of the Purplers (Ian Gillan, perhaps?) says "Can we get everything louder than everything else?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Japan_(Deep_Purple_album) So, I'm wondering if this quote was the inspiration for this song?

message: There were some LP pressings of this 75-minute album (with no tracks skipped or edited), and though they were of dire sonic quality, they seem to qualify BOOH-II as the longest popular music single-LP album with original material ever (a laurel normally given to Todd Rundgren's Initiation (67½ minutes, 1975).
