Comments:
Meat loaf's appearance in the German TV special as broadcast by the BBC in the UK in which Meat shared the 45min show with Saga (not included).
I was traded this on VHS in a direct copy from the taper's master. However, the show was recorded from the TV shortly after it was filmed, and had been watched so the copy wasn't perfect, but it was, and is, far from terrible as you can see from the caps. There, is some 'ghosting' though.
Anyway, I transfered the tape to DVD using the HQ setting to maintain the best possible quality.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not the "Meat Load: Hell in Germany" un-official DVD that is being touted on E-bay and elswhere, from the same TV special.

My Artwork is included for both DVD and CD sized cases.
