This is a great great soundtrack. I just love it. My favorite songs are "Damint Janet," "Time Warp" and "What Ever Happened To Saturday Night?". I first bought the CD for my aunt for her birthday, I loved it and she let me borrow it. I suggest buying the CD right now if you haven't done so.Free Music Review: Great Product

Free Music Review: Let The Party And The Sounds Rock On
Hit: 4 Stars
I went for this new version of the soundtrack because it brings back two songs from the movie that were left off the original LP: "Sword Of Damocles" and "Planet Schmanet Janet" ("you better wise up..."). More good news came with the booklet, which has complete lyrics. This really comes in handy for some songs, in particular Meat Loaf's shining moment "What Ever Happened To Saturday Night" ("Hot Patootie-Bless My Soul" on the LP). I enjoyed the dialogue that's included on the disk, also printed out in the booklet. Hearing Tim Curry gargle his way through that mannered dialogue is almost as much fun as the songs. Also, most of Charles Gray's narrating (also deadpan hilarious) reminds of the songs' context in the movie. Way back when, I had to hunt down a separate book to figure out what the hell everybody was saying. (I still have it: minimum bid = $30. Oh wait, that's another site...) But Rhino just hands that knowledge over to you in one easy package. Change is good. Nice photos from the movie too.The biggest disappointment, for me, is that Columbia's tap dance "break" in "The Time Warp" is once again MIA. And, as other reviewers noted, the "you're a hot dog" part is left off "Planet Schmanet." I also thought, since it's an anniversary edition, that some "where are they now" info or some cast quotes would be appropriate. Except for a picture of Mr. Gray, with the caption "To Absent Friends" and the dates of his birth and passing, there's only musical credits. Finally, the lack of liner info fails to answer the nagging question as to how and where "Super Heroes" would have fit in the movie. Same question for another new track, "Once In A While", sung by Brad. If screenwriters Jim Sharman and Richard "Riff Raff" O'Brien only knew the greatness Barry Bostwick was destined for in "Spin City"...well...they'd likely still have left this song on the cutting room floor. It's a love/losing-love ballad that doesn't quite suit our Denton sweethearts' soon-to-be-corrupted apple-pie relationship.
So much for details. This music is awesome! Glam-rock, early rock-era and cheesy pop-culture references galore, and Tim Curry forever one-upping David Bowie (at the cost of being typecast in a role that exists nowhere else...but he was great in "Clue", wasn't he?). It's sad that there are people out there who have no idea what these songs sound like. Make sure to buy at least one version of the RH disks and pervert your friends. As for me, I'm off to rent "Forbidden Planet."
