Product Description: Don't have the time (or the props) to watch the whole movie? Just put on the soundtrack--it's got all the best parts without the dialog in-between! Well, isn't that what an Original Soundtrack Recording like this is supposed to be? Back in the mid-70s when The Rocky Horror Picture Show was a midnight staple at countless movie theaters, Tim Curry wasn't yet "Tim Curry" and Susan Sarandon wasn't yet "Susan Sarandon" (hell, Barry Bostwick wasn't even "Barry Bostwick"!). Listening to these science-fiction double-feature showtunes will take you back through a time warp to the days when the now-Academy-Award-winning actress was perfectly willing to stand around for most of a picture in her bra and panties--and so would her boyfriend! In those days, they were just Brad and Janet, forced to spend a dark and stormy (also sexy) night in the haunted house of mad scientist Frank N. Furter--just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania-ha-ha who really knew how to belt out a song. Those were the days. --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews
Crossdressers unite....
This may be heresy, but I've always felt the music for this film was far superior to the film itself. I think the experience of the film is better than the film itself. Truth be told, the film is rather boringly directed, clumsily staged, and if it wasn't for the soundtrack, it would have been forgotten about. Luckily, Richard O'Brien's soundtrack is awesome, tuneful, and never gets tiring on the ear. It's justifably a cult item, and while I've listened to the soundtrack more times than I can remember, I've only seen the film once (on VHS). Even the lesser known songs are still great (like Over at the Frankenstein's Place and Eddie). The classics are awesome, with kudos going to Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul and some tune called The Time Warp.
I still would like to see the film in a theater, mainly for the Rocky Horror experience and to sing along with songs I really dig, not because it's a great film. Get the soundtrack, and once in a while, crossdress and see the film in a theater.

Almost perfect.
I've been a die hard Rocky fan for years. I've taken part in many a midnight showing and I've only just now bought an "offical" soundtrack (many a burned copy has passed through these hands) to the film. Not a negative word has passed my lips except for the absence of one key song. "The Sword of Damoclese" is not on this album. Bummer as this is one rockin' song and I had to resort to piracy to complete my perfect soundtrack. Other than that...Fantastic. That's enough of the downers for me. Rock on!!!

A tribute to Rocky Horror
The CD captures the soul of the actual film to a tee. Everyone is there, the people are the same, the music is excellent. It is a great way to take the Time Warp with you without the TV!

The Original and best recording
This is the best Rocky Horror available. It is the original soundtrack from the movie and the songs are in the same order as they are in the movie. It brings back old, pleasant memories every time I listen to it. Watch out for the various other recordings of the multitude of other productions and spin offs. This is the TRUE ORIGINAL.
