"Bat Out of Hell," released in October 1977 by Cleveland International/Epic Records, is the debut album by American rock singer Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman. Developed from the musical "Neverland," a futuristic rock version of Peter Pan written by Steinman for a 1974 workshop, the album was recorded between 1975 and 1976 at various studios, including Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York. The production was helmed by Todd Rundgren.

 

The album's success led to two sequel albums by Meat Loaf: "Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell" in 1993 and "Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose" in 2006. "Bat Out of Hell" has sold over 43 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. It is certified 14× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is the best-selling album in Australia, certified 26× platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). As of June 2019, it has spent 522 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, marking the fourth longest chart run by a studio album. In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked it at number 343 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
