The Rocky Horror Show - The Whole Gory Story

Advantages: Another version to add to your collection of Rocky Horror memorabilia
Disadvantages: Doesn`t tell you who plays who on here

...Richard O`brien`s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show. This version is from the 1990 play cast. Unfortunately the booklet does not give you all the information needed, if you want to know that who played who in this play. However, I can tell you that Mr Ade Edmonson ( Vyv from The Yong Ones fame ) plays the character Brad Majors in this production. A very unique cast of various actors and actresses adorn this unique version of this well know cult ...
...& songs. The whole Rocky Horror experience-that is, this soundtrack, the movie and the play, has been prone to many scathing reviews from critics that just don't understand it, but it's popularity has not suffered because of this. The number of Rocky Horror fans grows bigger every year, and the play has been performed on every continent, in almost every language. If you are familiar with the play, the movie or even Richard O`brien`s work you will ...

Review of Rocky Horror Picture Show, The - Cast Recording

cult soundtrack at its best

Advantages: everything!
Disadvantages: n/a

The Rocky horror picture show is a cult musical and this cd soundtrack is a must have for any RHPS fan.it contains many of the songs from the film version of Rocky horror and is sung by the film cast.Anyone who for some obscure reason has never seen the film may still enjoy this cd, the songs found on this soundtrack are upbeat and quite 'rocky' (NO pun intended, but hey it works doesnt it).Even those who have never seen the film will probably know ...
...meatloaf (hot patootie -bless my soul).This cd contains 16 songs (original lyrics and music by Richard O'Brien) and there is a somewhat mixed theme to this cd as the film itself combines several genres such as spoof sci-fi , horror , comedy and of course musical and all of these elements shine thorough in the various songs. The story behind the songs is an intiruing one with transvestites,murders,sexual exploits including incest, aliens ,creating ...

Review of Rocky Horror Picture Show, The - Original Soundtrack

Quirky, Catchy Album

Advantages: Fun filled rock n roll from a groundbreaking musical
Disadvantages: Some explicit content so not suitable for children

Well after watching the movie, I had to buy the soundtrack. Most songs from the film are on it, except Wise Up, Janet Weiss and Sword of Damocles (unfortunately!). Also, there is a fairly decent remix of the Time Warp which is worth a listen. For those who don't know, the music is of the pop/glam rock category which is mainly sang by the film actors (including the legendary Meatloaf). it is probably best to be familiar with the music before buying ...
...sing along! Tracks 1) Science Fiction/Double Feature This is a song that really grows on you as you hear it. An exceptional intro to the album. 2)Dammit Janet Fun, quirky song that introduces us to the lively spirit of the soundtrack. 3) Over at the Frankenstein Place Average compared to the other songs, but still good and easy to listen to. 4) The Time Warp Brilliant track which defines the whole album and will have everyone dancing! 5)Sweet ...

Review of Rocky Horror Picture Show, The - Various Artists

It was great when it all began...

Advantages: Probably the best Rocky stage album
Disadvantages: Richard O'Brien not singing on it

...I own almost all the Rocky albums there are in various languages. This album features all the stage show songs and has Tim Curry as Frank, with Meatloaf as both Eddie and Dr Scott, which vocally works better than splitting the 2 roles with Jonathan Adams in the film version. You might also recognise Jamie Donnelly as usherette/Magenta as Jan from Grease (brush-a, brush-a, brush-a). Despite being one of the earliest Rocky cast albums, this version ...
...you who are new to Rocky Horror or have only seen the movie, this album is a great introduction to the stage show, which features the same songs as the movie, with the addition of Once In A While (sung by Brad) which was dropped from the film (and having seen and heard the movie version, I think they were right to drop the song for the movie, although the song itself is well-crafted and emotional) and Brad's verse in There's A Light. No disrespect ...

Review of Rocky Horror Show, The - Original Roxy Cast

High Fives all round!

Advantages: good mix, energetic, fun
Disadvantages: /

When I was a bit younger, I used to watch Australian kids show Hi 5 on Milkshake every morning religiously before school. It is a programme aimed at pre-school and primary school children, teaching them various things through the methods of song and dance. Naturally, there are five presenters, all of which are Australian. Okay so the education side is a bit young fo rme, but I do find the music very entertaining on the show! Now I do not have the ...
...I did buy one of their several albums. This one was Hi 5 Hits. This album is very attractive, a very colourful cover with little cartoon images of the band: Nathan Foley, Charley Delaney, Tim Harding, Kellie Crawford (then Hoggart), and Kathleen de Leon. It is very bright and draws your attention in for sure! Looking on the back I noticed there were a total of twenty one songs. I will let you discover the wonders of them all yourself, but to give ...
