A look at the world of marketing, packaging and promotion that precedes the prize-giving at ceremonies like the Brit Awards. Only six years ago, Meat Loaf was down on his luck and out of the charts, having had a top-selling album several years earlier. But by 1993 he had the best-selling single and album of the year.
