Hello everyone. It seems that it has been over 4 and a half years since my last upload of this recording. Since then, I've realised the original audio was in need of pitch correction, as well as a mild EQ, and so without meddling too much with the audio, I have tried to lightly adjust it, focusing mostly on the pitch and I think I have it sounding rather good. As with in 2021, I have substituted the Rhinegold recording of 'Hushabye' for the missing 'Malediction' scene, and the Dream Engine 1969 recording of 'Song of the Dream Engine' for the missing 'Kingdom Come' scene, although the transition is smoother than the previous version. As always, enjoy and let me know what you think of this restoration attempt.

Instrumental #1 is the same as the 'Let The Revels Begin' instrumental used on Meat Loaf's 1981-82 Dead Ringer tour(s), which is partially the same as 'Private Of Privates'. Of course, later on this instrumental was also used for 'Holding Out For A Hero', and even later, 'God Has Left The Building'. Instrumental #2 is the intro to 'Bat Out Of Hell'. Instrumental #3 is usually known as 'The Hunt', and borrows heavily from 'Chinkachain'. Instrumental #4 is usually known as 'The Annihilation', after its phase, and borrows heavily from 'The Revolution In Music' from The Dream Engine. Instrumental #5 reminds me of the dance section from 'Dance In My Pants'.

*Substituted with c. June 1973 Rhinegold audio.
**Substituted with May 1969 Dream Engine audio.
