Free Music Notes for The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Say It! (Audience Participation Album)
Free Music Review: Ahhh - The good ole days!!! plus a reply to JA Patterson
Hit: 5 Stars
How dare you say that this be taken out of print and call it an embarrassment. From the sounds of it, you probably weren't even born when Rocky Horror began.
THIS Audience Participation album is a TRUE reflection of what the show was all about when it became the cult phenomenon that is became.
You cannot call yourself a true Rocky Horror fan and call this album crap.
If it weren't for this "crap", as you call it, Rocky Horror would not be around today.
I went to the show (and played in it) over 400 times in its prime. Then I made the mistake of going to a recent show and buying the new DVD.
You cannot even understand what the audience says nowdays...they all just see who can scream the loudest and be heard. Had it been like that back in the 70's and early 80's...the movie never would have lasted.
This LP is AMAZING and it was so refreshing to hear it again and remember the good old days when people could have fun and not make everthing as raunchy as they could....like they do at the shows now.
THIS IS CLASSIC ROCKY HORROR!

This is a true representation of what the Rocky Horror Experience was at its heyday in the theater that was its headquarters. Outdated as it may seem to someone who very well could have been conceived at the show, it's an authentic time capsule of the sex-drugs-and-rock-n-roll atmosphere that made The 8th Street Playhouse the Mecca of Rocky Horror from 1980-1990. Listen to it over headphones or good speakers and you'll hear every nuance of a typical night at the Playhouse from empty whippet cannisters hitting the floor to a couple making out in the back row. This is the real thing, folks, a slice of life from a time when there was still life in the show, as opposed to now, when it's more slick and the emphasis is on "screen accuracy" rather than fun!
A footnote, I played The Criminologist and Dr. Scott at the 8th Street Playhouse and subsequent theaters from 1983 until 1995, racking up well over 2000 (two thousand) performances under the name of Moishe Pipik.
Free Music Review: The best is the Audience Participation Album
Hit: 5 Stars
Any Rocky Horror fan can tell you that half the fun of seeing the movie is interacting with it. It wouldn't be Rocky Horror if you didn't. This album was made to give new fans a taste of what audience participation is like, and old fans a way to remember the classic lines shouted by the people at the 8th Street Playhouse back in 1983. It's a piece of history. It's classic, it's memorable; it's definitely the best album in Rocky Horror's history. A word of advice for new fans; if you listen to the album, don't necessarily think you can use those lines at your local theater. They tend to change with the location, the times, and the people involved.Free Music Review: AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING, BABY

This is the definitive account of the late-night phenomenon, recording in 1981. These two discs feature the entire film, music and dialoge, with "participation" including a lot of very funny, and very caustic remarks from the audience. One especially interesting thing about this CD is that it features the original mixes of the songs, which no longer appear on any circulating print or video of the movie. Noticeable differences are heard in "Frankenstein Place," "Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite" and "Floor Show."Free Music Review: Fun for the fan

Our local RHPS, which is called Lips Down on Dixie, doesn't follow this routine, and I guess you can hardly blame them after 30 years? But we really love this CD. There are some priceless moments. Some of them are simple, some of them are unrecognizeable individuals, and some of them might cleverly catch you off guard with the whole audience yelling in unison. The two cds included each have one track, and are a complete sountrack for the entire experience.
Let's call it a basic starting guide for the new fan. And a very fun one.
