"Water seller's song", "Smoke song"and "Souvenirs" (1st-2nd, 6th works) were also cut from the final version of production. Steinman and Meatloaf met during the production. Meatloaf is featured on "The spooky song (The simple life)". The title song (5th work) was later recorded by Meatloaf on the 1981 album "Dead ringer."
