Includes extended 7" disc. The 'EP' disc was not a 'bonus' disc, but rather necessary to include the complete composition the 'LP' could not handle. Vinyl plays nicely; a few light hairlines (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (lyrics/credits); seams partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top-edge; heavier wear along bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Tap along side/top-edge of 7" jacket. (Not a cut-out.)
Bad for Good is the only studio album by Jim Steinman. Steinman wrote all of the songs and performed on most, although Rory Dodd contributed lead vocals on some tracks. The songs were originally intended to be recorded by Meat Loaf as a follow-up to Bat Out of Hell, titled Renegade Angel. However, Meat Loaf suffered vocal problems and was unable to sing. He would record several tracks from Bad for Good for his later albums. Critical reaction to the album was mixed, with a majority of the criticism directed at Steinman's vocals. However, the album was a major commercial success, breaking the UK Top 10. The album reached No. 63 in the Billboard Pop Albums chart, and peaked at No. 14 in the Swedish Top 60 Albums. Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through was released as the first single, reaching 14 in the Mainstream Rock chart, and No. 32 in the Pop Singles chart.
