My first exposure to Rocky Horror was this particular album and cast and I was immediately thrillled when I heard it. The songs from Jamie Donelly's beginning of "Science Fiction" to "Time Warp" to Meat Loaf's "Whatever Happened Saturday Night and Eddy's Teddy"...had me attempting to sing along and dance/tap my feet and toes. Then I listened to the movie soundtrack from the library and was disappointed by the laidback tempo of that version-same with the movie not to mention that a few of the character's voices from the movie weren't as strong as the voices from this album. I am now wanting to watch the play in the theatre and I'm praying it will be more like this album versus the movie.This CD is great, I highly reccommend it to any potential Rocky Horror Picture Fan new-bee!
