The East West Years 1995-1998

Bonnie Tyler

Two late 90s albums from the legendary Welsh singer and Meat Loaf sparring partner who recently celebrated her 70th birthday. Plus a CD of their international-selling single cuts in various formats including the mighty Two Out Of Three Aint Bad, her cover of The Alan Parsonss Projects Limelight and the theme tune to German TV series The King of St. Pauli in which she appeared. With contributions from Bat Out Of Hell composer Jim Steinman, Frankie Miller, the Scorpions Rudolph Schenker plus Klaus Meine, Mike Batt and Harold Faltermeyer (Beverly Hills Cop). Welsh chanteuse Bonnie Tylers musical career began in 1977 with the country-tinged worldwide hit, Lost In France. Her biggest smashes came in the mid-80s when she teamed up with Bat Out Of Hell creator, Jim Steinman. Germany was always a big stronghold for Bonnie Tyler, and a new deal there with East West Records led to the release of Free Spirit, in 1995. Featuring songs from a number of established and acclaimed writers, including Frankie Miller and the Scorpions Rudolph Schenker and Klaus Meine, it included an equally varied array of producers, including ELOs Jeff Lynne. The album is particularly notable for seeing Bonnie teaming up with mentor, Jim Steinman, for the singles Making Love (Out Of Nothing At All), which had previously been a huge hit for Air Supply, plus Two Out Of Three Aint Bad, which had originally been recorded by Meat Loaf for the multi-platinum Bat Out Of Hell. Three years later, Bonnie released her second East West album, All In One Voice. The album was mainly produced by Jimmy Smyth, and featured contributions from Mike Batt (The Wombles, Katie Melua) and Harold Faltermeyer (Beverly Hills Cop). The lead single, Hes The King, was also used in a popular German TV show of the time The King of St. Pauli, that Bonnie made an appearance in. Always a truly international artist, the second single from the album, Heaven was performed at Swedens selection show for the Eurovision Song Contest.
