Bat out of Hell (single edit)

~ Recording by Meat Loaf

Annotation

Single edit cuts out various elements found in the album version, however the most easy to identify would be that the first 1 minute of the album version is completely instrumental (no vocals), whereas in the single edit the first verse is nearly complete by this point.
