I wanted to replace my old vinyl copy of the RHPS and could only find this version online at the time, so I bought it. I does have a couple of extra songs that my vinyl copy didn't, but it ALSO has dialogue running into each track which I find very irritating when all I want to do is listen to the music. If this doesn't bother you, then this is a great, comprehensive album. If it does, buy the other version now available at Amazon.

If you don't buy this you might as well be on transsexual!Review date: 2005-05-22 Rating: 10 out of 10The Rocky horror picture show is a timeless classic and when you buy this i suggest oyu get the video or the DVD as well, this is somehting noone should be without! The soundtrack,written by Richard O'Brien is truely fantastic. The classics like "The time warp" and "sweet transvestite" should be heard throughout the world. Do not live life without the the ballads, the dance routines and the....interesting words. You'll want to do the time warp again and again!!!Essential RHPS merchandise!Review date: 2005-02-17 Rating: 10 out of 10This is an essential purchase for any true Rocky Horror Picture Show fan. If you loved the film, you'll love the music, and this unique CD combines both. All of the excellent tracks from the film, linked together by narration and dialogue from the movie, so you can keep track of the storyline as the songs progress (although I think there is one of the songs which does not feature in the film itself). From the genius of Richard O'Brien comes this masterpiece of musical history. Some great lines from the film as well, my favourite has to be at the start of 'Planet, Schmanet, Janet' which starts with a load of chaos, resulting in Riff Raff and Magenta both laughing maniacally, which leads to Riff Raff telling Magenta to 'shut up!' in a very strange, but hilarious, way... listen to it and see!Pure genius, and a must for any fan!
I'd give this 5 out of 5 without question.
good fun albumReview date: 2003-11-10 Rating: 10 out of 10Already being an avid fan of Rocky Horror I bought this album knowing what to expect (I can picturise Tim Curry and more recently Jonathan Wilkes in the stilettos - nice!!). There are links at the beginning of each song from the film so that you know can keep up with the story - although it does help if you have a basic understanding of the story. The start of Sweet Transvestite you can hear the shoe tapping which you see in the film of Frank N Furter coming down in the lift.
It's album full of great tunes, sang by the original cast, with excellent musicians playing.
There are not many songs/albums that have been around for 30 years that keep going so strong.
Buy this album, get your mates round, have a few drinks, and then dress up and have fun. I challenge anyone to listen to it without at least toe tapping!!.
EntertainingReview date: 2003-07-02 Rating: 8 out of 10Dont be put off by the fact that this film is full of cross-dressing, trust me its funny! Although this isnt the highest quality film ever made, its a joy to watch, with an imaginative but easy on the brain plot and some class acting such as Tim Curry as Frank 'n' furter. Richard O Brian wrote the music and there are some catchy tunes that will stick in your head for a week or two. Go on, give it a chance and enjoy some absolute pleasure! (lines from the film)
