Just as good the second time 'round (like a record).......2002-04-06
I was surprised though, to see it without real changes from the first time it was released - on the 15th anniversary in 1990. I've got my nicely boxed set right here, and it's a nearly identical (except for packaging, of course) line-up. Alas, perhaps Ode Records really has no 'lost' recordings left in the vault.
It's nice to have this collection on two discs in a slim double case, much more portable that the original four discs (RHPS Original Soundtrack, Songs From The Vaults, RH International; plus the Original Roxy Cast album which is not included here). Now I can retire my ten year old originals and travel a bit lighter.
I'd certainly recommend the 1990 box to anyone, but since it's been out of print for over a decade, this is a must-have runner-up. Get this, the Audience Par-tic-i-pation album (1983), Sing It! (1995), the Roxy cast album (1974), the New Broadway cast album (2001), any other theater albums you can find, and steer clear of all the other rehashes of the Picture Show album.
The Ultimate Rocky Horror Audio Buffet!.......2001-04-27
This 2 CD set really gives an amazing smorgasbord of Rocky Horror listening treats. We get generous doses of the film and Roxy soundtracks that so many Rocky fanatics are familiar with, as well as samplings from other stage soundtracks like the Mexican cast ("Toca! Toca Toca!" is a fabulous Spanish take on "Touch A Touch A Touch Me!"), The Norwegian Cast (you MUST hear these!), and the New Zealand Cast.
If that's not enough fun, we get to hear the film versions of "The Sword of Damocles" and "Once in a While" (to my knowledge, these haven't been released on previous commercial soundtracks). Other film feature fun we get to listen to includes a small sampling of the audience participation album with "Eddie's Teddy," two RHPS radio spots, and one theatrical trailer.
I'm one of those RHPS fans who am intrigued with the various cast members' careers apart from Rocky Horror. The second CD provides you with several solo recordings by Tim Curry and Little Nell, plus a few cuts from Richard O'Brien's "Shock Treatment."
If you are a Mega-Rocky-Fan who wants a fantastic dose of Rocky Horror song & dance, this is the CD to get. In my opinion, this blows the more publicized "25th Anniversary" commemorative CD right out of the water! This CD is well worth the wait and extra money.
