Jim Steinman - Vaults Of Heaven/ Making Love/ Rock'n'RollDreams (remix, vocals by Rory Dodd)

This album does not exist. It is what a Jim Steinman album in the 1980ies could have sounded like. I have created these tracks for my personal pleasure and hope you can enjoy them as well.
This track features the following titles:
Vaults Of Heaven (Rory Dodd, 1984)
Making Love Out Of Nothing At All (Rory Dodd, 1982)
Rock'n'Roll Dreams Come Through (Rory Dodd, 1981)
About this project: After the success of "Bat Out Of Hell" in 1977 by Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman, there was trouble about a follow-up. Both were in dispute. Meat's voice and health were in terrible condition. So in 1981 Steinman published an album on his own, "Bad For Good", featuring outstanding songs, but not the voice Meat Loaf. In the same year, having to fullfill record company deals, Meat Loaf published "Dead Ringer For Love", featuring rather unpolished songs. Both albums are enchanting, but they feel incomplete. This remix album merges and re-arranges compatible songs by Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf and related artists to create something new. I like the idea of this being a Jim Steinman record, as Steinman's credit was sometimes rather known by fans than by the broad public.

Everytime I hear Rory Dodd, I get goosebumps. Such a beautiful and melodic voice that complements Steinman's music. RIP Jim Steinman, the Wagner of our time.

Thanks for putting this together. Like all of us that loved Jim's vision and composition and his unique way of turning a phrase into something that could tell a masterful story I just wish that there was a version of Meatloaf doing Making Love, the versions that we have including the Rory Demo are great, but fall short on the power that MeatLoaf would have brought to them. Jim and Meat were meant to be together, shame that it took another 10 years to make Bat 2 happen.

happy to hear you've enjoyed the remix

[@highstrangetv]

Agreed this is great. As much as I love Bad For Good, I can’t help but long for what it would sound like with Meat’s vocals or even if Dodd performed lead on every song. I genuinely love Jim’s vocals on “Bad For Good” and “Stark Raving Love” but he just doesn’t have the power for “Left In The Dark” or “Frying Pan”. But the production on that album is PERFECT.

My pleasure!

Thanks Steinmanesque!! Lot's of times I play these 2 songs sung by Rory Dodd (didn't know this guy before), because these are so "Steinmanesque"... especially the agressive way of playing the piano from Jim. Definitely the greatest composer, and with Meatloaf the best duo ever. As jcbass2u already wrote, they were meant to be together. Sadly, here in Spain almost NOBODY even knows Jim Steinman... He deserved much more credit than he received.

[@remix_afficionado]

well, almost nobody. you do. sometimes i think of the many people who still have a whole world to discover, if they don't know steinman's music yet. and this is a happy thought.

[@eduardochovallorca8288]

Another Spanish fan here!

[@chaunezkalk9822]

I often find that one’s interpretations of an original, has similarities, but those which strike me most are those that can use their talents, creativity and meshing together is impressive.

[@remix_afficionado]

you're welcome!

[@MLBFCollection]

Thanks for all these remixes Very interesting

[@remix_afficionado]

you're welcome!

[@robbyrobby3447]

Your remixes are amazing, they sound like songs that would've been had all the Steinman related artists reworked and rearranged a giant collaborative album encompassing highlights of their careers. I've heard the originals but it really feels like a whole new album all together.

[@remix_afficionado]

best thanks robby! reading your comment truly makes me happy. this is exactly what i intended. and i am so glad that it apparently worked out AND other people enjoy it as well. this is so cool!

Tenho certeza que Meat Loaf foi impedido de gravar "Making Love" e Total Eclipse" porque todos os envolvidos no projeto sabiam que ele seria perfeito nesse trabalho e que ninguém jamais alcançaria seu êxito....como sempre, ele foi boicotado pelos invejosos. Que Deus tenha lhe dado a glória majestosa que lhe foi negada na terra. Amém.
