Adler also brought back original London stage musicians in place of the slick studio musicians who had marred the L.A. cast album.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe film version resequenced the songs and reassigned some of the vocals, with Brad's song 'Once in a While' dropped. But it all worked out fine. The strings that were added to ballads like 'Science Fiction\/Double Feature' only improved them; the rockers rocked out; Bostwick and Sarandon proved to be the best Brad and Janet ever; the original cast members, especially Curry, revelled in the opportunity to immortalise their portrayals; and Rocky Horror's potential as a witty parody of cheap movies, rock \u0026amp; roll, and sexual mores was fully realised. The film soundtrack album became the definitive version of the score, despite lacking the songs 'Planet Shmanet Janet' and 'The Sword of Damocles'.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Rocky Horror Picture Show was not successful in its initial theatrical run, but then a strange thing happened. In 1976, the Waverly Theater in New York's Greenwich Village began showing the film at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Soon, a cult of repeat viewers began turning up every week; they began to dress like the characters, call out their own comments at strategic moments, sing along, and add their own theatrical effects. The phenomenon spread across the U.S., with fans rivaling Trekkies and Deadheads for loyalty and eccentricity, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show took on a life Richard O'Brien never could have anticipated.\u003cp\u003eScience Fiction\/Double Feature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDammit Janet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver At The Frankenstein Place\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime Warp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet Transvestite\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Can Make You A Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHot Patootie - Bless My Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Can Make You A Man (Reprise)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTouch-a, Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEddie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose Tint My World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm Going Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuper Heroes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScience Fiction\/Double Feature (Reprise)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime Warp (1989 Remix - Extended Version)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime Warp (music 1 = Background Track = U Mix)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56371352666497,"sku":"545896","price":25.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/various-artists-the-rocky-horror-picture-show-cd.jpg?v=1791407686","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/545896","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
