5.0 out of 5 stars Heresy, but the singing on this cast album is even better, 8 Jul 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
I originally picked up the original cast recording of "The Rocky Horror Show" when I got the four-CD set that had this, the soundtrack for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," "Rocky Horror International: A Collection of Rocky Horror Tracks from Around the World," and "Songs from the Vaults: A Collection of Rocky Horror Rarities." If you have not heard the Mexican Cast singing "Un Relato Bien Extrano y Muy Pasado" or the Norwegian Cast doing "Alltid Lys Hos Frankenstein," not to mention Little Nell's "See You Round Like a Record" or Tim Curry's "Just," then you need to track these down. But this one will be the easiest to find besides the film soundtrack.

Tim Curry plays Frank N. Furter while Meatloaf does double duty as both Eddie and Dr. Scott, which means you get a nicely sung version of "Eddie's Teddy." Those who had the movie memorized long before they get to this album will be surprised to see that "Sweet Transvestite" comes before "Tim Warp," and that Brad (Bill Miller) has a really great song called "Once in a While." This would be his counterpart to "Toucha Toucha Touch Me" by Janet (Abigale Haness) and my favorite song on the album (Barry Bostwick did record it for the movie and it appears on "Rocky Horror International," but it is not half as good as Miller's version).

This is a high energy production and you can tell from the moment Jamie Donnelly, who plays Magenta, starts ripping through "Science Fiction/Double Feature." This continues through "Dammit Janet" and "Over at the Frankenstein Place." Fans of the film will also be happy to find versions of "Planet Schmanet Janet" and "Hot Dog/Frankfurter," which provides all the narrative links between "Eddie's Teddy" and "Rose Tint My World." At the end Brad, Janet and the Company sing "Superheroes." The rest of the Roxy cast consists of Bruce Scott as Riff Raff, Boni Enten as Columbia, Kim Milford as Rocky, and Graham Jarvis as the narrator.

I know it might be heresy, but in terms of the people doing the signing and wanting to sing along, I actually like "The Rocky Horror Show" cast album a bit better than "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" soundtrack album. With regards to the later, I would rather watch the film and sing along (while throwing toast and ringing a bell).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff!, 13 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Original Roxy Cast... just bought this a few weeks ago - the re-release version. A friend of mine had the original one and said I just *had* to listen to it, und I diiiiid... There's some really great versions of songs here, including some different lyrics (Charles Atlas Song etc) and musical arrangements - it seems to me like the special music in the Rocky Horror PC Game was based on this recording, also. Excellent cast... shame I wasn't even born to see it the first time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless version of the musical, 5 Jul 2003
By G. Ormrod "georgie" (lancashire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Rocky Horror Show: Original Roxy Cast (Audio CD)
It always amazes me just how different each show version of Rocky Horror is, but the Roxy cast version of RHS is my favourite. It has a definate 'Broadway' finish to it with it's immaculate rendition and glossy instrumentation, whilst at the same time maintaining it's raw rocky edge.
The singing is spot on and the music itself is layered and fun.
Brilliant.
