Amazon.co.uk Review
Ostensibly, you wouldn't imagine South Wales' croaky-voiced crooner and a voluminous Texan called Meat would have much reason to share an album. Common to both of them though, is the songwriting genius of Jim Steinman--a man whose aptitude for hysterically overwrought melodrama knows no parallel this side of Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Bonnie's "Holding Out For A Hero" is about as close as we get here to the kind of pop song that might go unnoticed in a crowd. The same, of course, can't be said for "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" which manages to make feeling a bit horny sound as gigantically ominous as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Perhaps inevitably, it's Meat who steals the show: "Bat Out Of Hell and "I'll Do Anything For Love" are tattooed on the folk psyche. It is, however, a delight to be reacquainted with "Dead Ringer For Love"--the scintillating mini-opera which, lest we forget, introduced Cher to a whole new generation of salivating adolescents. --Peter Paphides

Customer Reviews

Heaven and Hell!!!
I truely love this CD, Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler are two of my all time favorite singers, voices are incomparable to today's so called ''music''.
This set includes their greatest hits from the 80s plus a duet with Cher on Meatloaf's "Dead Ringer For Love". It is an album that you will play again and again, i have lots of Bonnie's albums but this is only CD i own so far with her cover of "Straight From The Heart", awesome stuff!!
If don't own this CD then be sure to order it today, it won't come a disappointment to you if you like these amazing artists.

Two great voices singing apart
Bonnie Tyler and Meatloaf are both great singers and as such this is a good album for anyone who likes the work of these two artists. But there's nothing new here; simply a collection of the best tracks from both singers. No new recordings, lots of well known hits. Their voices compliment each other well but I can't help thinking they should have got together and recorded them with both singing at least one duet. Thats why I gave 4 not 5 stars. Still, worth listenning to from time to time.

GREAT ALBUM!
I bought this CD when I was visiting the U.K. because I think Meat Loaf is an incredible singer and Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart and Have You Ever Seen The Rain pull at my heart strings. I had never seen the CD in Canada (someone should think about marketing it here). The CD is among my favourites and I play it at work, travelling, whatever. The only reason I put four stars is that I think they should have done at least one duet.
