Advantages: Another version to add to your collection of Rocky Horror memorabilia
Disadvantages: Doesn`t tell you who plays who on here

...This is another soundtrack to Richard O`brien`s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show. This version is from the 1990 play cast. Unfortunately the booklet does not give you all the information needed, if you want to know that who played who in this play. However, I can tell you that Mr Ade Edmonson ( Vyv from The Yong Ones fame ) plays the character Brad Majors in this production. A very unique cast of various actors and actresses adorn this unique version of this well know cult play. Also, you do get actual vocalisation on here. Although after seeing the play many years ago & then seeing the classic movie, I cannot place where some of the vocal snippets have come from. This style of music can be described as 1950`s camp. You will enjoy this version if you have never gone to see the play before in your life. I myself appreciate... Read review

Advantages: 2 Disc Set - Good Extras
Disadvantages: Not for all tastes

...What a weird film, it has no equal. You cannot describe this film in terms of comparing it with any other. It is unique and a complete freak. The film centre's on Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) as they leave a friend's wedding only for their car to break down in torrential rain. In order to use the telephone to get help they go to the nearest house, an old imposing building with a solitary light showing through an upstairs window. Afer a brief introduction from Riff Raff (Richard O Brien) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn) everyone has a jump to the left, and then a step to the right as they do 'The Timewarp" again. Next we meet up with the "master" of the house, one Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) in all his cross-dressing transylvanian glory. The good doctor is creating his dream man - Rocky Horror...

Advantages: Fantastic music, an original concept, exceptional cast and all in the comfort of your own living room.
Disadvantages: Some of Frankenfurter's speeches are a little on the long side, it could offend those easily offended.

...is someone not overly conventional, an open mind helps. If you don't like it straight away watch it twice before making up your mind, it grows on you. I must admit when I actually brought this video I picked one at random off the shelf, I have never regretted it. Rocky Horror has a fantastic number of fans in many countries. If you haven't seen this video you need to know what you are missing. How come, a stage musical written by Richard O'Brien, first appearing on stage in 1973 has such an amazing following today? I can't answer that, maybe this video can.... Read review
