Caroline Records is a renowned music label that has had an interesting history. Originally established as a European offshoot of Virgin in the 1970s, it was later revived in the 1980s as a distributor and pseudo-indie label under Virgin/EMI. In 2013, Universal Music brought back the brand through Capitol Music Group. Caroline Records serves as a label for various releases bearing the *Caroline* or *Caroline Records* brands, as well as fulfilling distributor and other company roles.

The catalog number formats used by Caroline have varied over time, with prefixes like *CAROL* and *CAR*. It is important to use these numbers exactly as they appear on the release to avoid any confusion. In recent years, Caroline also adopted the standard EMI numbering system alongside their CAROL-prefix numbers.

Similar to Island Records, Caroline has been inconsistent about incorporating the word "Records" into their logos and contact information throughout their history. However, on Discogs it is considered correct to always refer to them as *Caroline Records*, even if "Records" is not present. The oldest logo of Caroline was reintroduced for several new releases in the mid-2010s. While it may be more appropriate to omit "Records" from their name now, there are too many releases associated with this label to make such edits at this point.

Meat Loaf (born September 27, 1947 in Dallas, Texas - died January 20, 2022) was an American musician and actor. He gained fame for his 'Bat Out of Hell' album trilogy which included "Bat Out of Hell", "Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell" and "Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose". With over 43 million copies sold worldwide, "Bat Out of Hell" remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. Despite initial difficulty establishing a steady career in the US, Meat Loaf achieved iconic status and popularity in Europe, particularly the UK.

Meat Loaf's success extended beyond music. He appeared in over 50 movies and television shows, often playing characters resembling his stage persona or as himself. Notable roles include 'Eddie' in the American premiere of "The Rocky Horror Show" and its film adaptation "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", as well as Robert "Bob" Paulson in Fight Club.

With worldwide sales exceeding 80 million copies, Meat Loaf is considered one of the best-selling artists ever. His talent earned him a Grammy Award for 'Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance' for the song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" from his album 'Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell'. VH1 also recognized him by ranking him at number 96 on their list
