Thrills, Chills, and Fullfillment at last....
This CD is excellent. It has recordings of all the songs from Rocky Horror, but exactly as it says-minus the lead vocals. The music is exactly the same as on the soundtrack/ in the movie, not some cheesy cheap midi sound. The lyrics are included in the book inside the case, to help out virgins to the songs. However, some of the choruses are not repeated, etc, which may be confusing to some, but anyone with half a brain can figure it out. I'm really pleased with this product because the quality of the music (and background singers) was far better than I thought it would be. Definitely worth the money if you enjoy singing along to your RHPS soundtrack.
However, some people have been lead to believe this is a karaoke CD, which it definitely is not. It will not display lyrics should you try and use it for this purpose. I'd just like to point out to all of those people that nowhere on the CD description does it say karaoke. Nowhere. However, I'm sure if you end up buying this CD, then you're probably already a fan and don't need the lyrics :D
Specifically, Time Warp and Science Fiction are my favorites on this CD. But like I said, all of the song sound great, and that I cannot stress enough. It can be a little confusing knowing where to begin in some parts, but it fits the original soundtrack so closely that you only hae to listen to it a few times before figuring it out. Wonderful, fantastic, and full of absolute pleasure!

Not for "virgins" . . .
If you don't already know the songs forward and backward, you may find this CD disappointing or frustrating, unless you enjoy a minor challenge. Use the RHPS soundtrack for training, and then test your chops with 'Sing It!' The original music cues are all there, and even some backing vocals, so it's also great for RHPS troupes. If you need lyrics on a screen or just want to goof off with your friends, find a nice karaoke set of standards and don't go near any strange castles at night.
