M L B F Collection

Busy Busy Busy (Lots Of Boots!)

Hi there all! I have been quite busy as you may have seen. In celebration of Meat Loaf's 79th birthday, I have restored/upgraded a heap of things. I'm still needing to update a lot of video descriptions but that's something for a later time, so enjoy all these performances, which can be accessed by clicking the hyperlinks that will then take you to my channel. All links open in a new tab. Thanks as always, and never stop rockin'!

P.S.: September 2026 is definitely a new record for my busiest month since I began posting to the channel in December 2017. Hopefully I'll be able to keep a good pace thru the rest of the year and into next year and soon reach my goal of posting everything I have, tho there's still MUCH more to come on both the Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman fronts, so stay tuned...!

Jim Steinman - Vaults Of Heaven III & IV Announcement

Hello Loafites and Steinmaniacs, those of you who enjoyed my 'Vaults Of Heaven I & II' compendium will be pleased to hear that parts III and IV are on their way. Part III is up on YouTube and viewable here and below, and shall become available for download here in a few days, IV will take a bit longer, and I have further plans for V and VI beyond that. The idea of these installments is to focus on Jim Steinman's officially released material, as it pertains to his songwriting and production, and they include recordings from 1973 to 2007 of songs written and/or produced by Jim. Think of this as a sort of Jim Steinman anthology.

The tracklist for III and prospective tracklist for IV is below as well as the covers. The image of Jim on the cover for IV is from 2020, he always did have awesome pairs of glasses. As always, enjoy - much more to come in terms of Steinman and Meat Loaf, I've been pleased on YouTube to have had my most productive year and a half since about 2018-2019 (longtime viewers of MLBF OG will remember many videos from 2017-2020 disappearing.) Note that I have colour-coded the tracks on III to indicate their status as they pertain to Jim Steinman.

Red: Written by Jim Steinman.
Blue: Produced by Jim Steinman.
Purple: Written and produced by Jim Steinman.
Pink: Co-written and produced by Jim Steinman.

The MLBF Archive

The (work in progress) MLBF archive can be found here.

Here you can find downloads in either MP3-320kbps, FLAC or sometimes WAV of my audio bootleg restorations. These files are just the raw files used in my YT uploads of my restored bootlegs, but I decided to make them available to you so the highest quality versions (at least digitally, and for now) of these treasured recordings are available in one place online. Which is after all the entire point of my channel,

So enjoy, I will add more as I restore more and as I locate more of my old files lol.
