Principally recorded live at The 8th Street Playhouse, New York. Includes liner notes by Sal Piro.This album contains audience participation bits recorded at a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.After its initial theatrical release in the fall of 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the movie version of The Rocky Horror Show, a British musical set to a rock & roll beat that parodied 1950s science fiction and horror films, began to be played at midnight weekend showings at the Waverly Theater in New York's Greenwich Village, attracting a cult audience. Fans came week after week, elaborating on the movie's own satiric style by shouting out comic interjections of their own invention, dressing up like the characters, and using a variety of props (rice thrown during a wedding scene, etc.). The phenomenon spread across the country, blooming into a full-fledged cult. In 1983, Ode Records, which controlled the rights to the soundtrack, issued this double-LP (now a double-CD) set recorded at the 8th Street Pla Minimize

Cast includes: Tim Curry, Meat Loaf.For the 1975 film version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, American producer Lou Adler wisely mixed the best of the London and Los Angeles stage versions, shooting the movie in England with Tim Curry and several of the other original cast members, plus Meatloaf (years before Bat Out of Hell), and Americans Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as the innocent couple Brad and Janet. Adler also brought back original London stage musicians in place of the slick studio musicians who had marred the L.A. cast album. The 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, reveled in the opportunity to immortalize their portrayals; and Rocky Horror's potential as a witt Minimize

All music written and conducted by Bill Conti.Personnel: DeEtta Little, Nelson Pigford, Valentine (vocals).Composer Bill Conti's iconic score for Sylvester Stallone's tale of over-the-hill Philadelphia boxer Rocky Balboa ranks as one of the most memorable and instantly recognizable pieces of film music ever applied to celluloid. The first Rocky is still the best, with classic cues like "Going the Distance," "Fanfare for Rocky," the "Final Bell" and "Gonna Fly Now" -- the latter was actually a hit single -- eschewing the myriad of questionable AOR songs that would end up cluttering future installments. [In 2006, Capitol released the 30th Anniversary Edition of Rocky, which featured the original playlist remastered in 24-bit digital, with photos and liner notes from Stallone himself.] ~ James Christopher Monger Minimize

The Horrors (UK): Faris Rotter (vocals); Joshua Von Grimm (guitar).On their singles and EPs, the Horrors proved they'd done their post-punk and freakbeat homework. With their debut album, Strange House, they push their sound forward, distill it to its rawest essence, and give it a few funhouse mirror twists and turns for good measure. Almost half of the songs on the album already appeared on previous Horrors releases, but the ever-so-slightly cleaner production here gives more definition to their black-on-black sound. The band kicks off Strange House by revisiting their cover of Screaming Lord Sutch's "Jack the Ripper," which begins at a zombie-slow pace, then suddenly speeds up halfway through, transforming into a hurtling roller coaster of a song that makes a great introduction to Strange House's mix of campy humor, energy, and menace. With its dive-bombing noise barely held together by Faris Badwan's shouting and the faintest hint of a melody, "Sheena Is a Parasite" is still the Horrors' best and most radi Minimize

Neither a return to Strange House's goth-punk nor a simple continuation of Primary Colours' acclaimed Krautrock/shoegaze fusion, this time the band sets the dials of its way-back machine for the mid- and late `80s, sampling post-punk luminaries such as Echo & the Bunnymen, the Psychedelic Furs, and Simple Minds as well as the era's baggy trend. Yet somehow the Horrors' chameleon act seems more cohesive and convincing -- or perhaps it's just less shocking to hear them give their music another complete makeover.

Big John Bates & the Voodoo Dollz is a touring revue led by a Gretsch-endorsed rock'n'roll vision of Tom Waits flanked by beautiful girls on fire; a living slice of Rocky Horror fueled by the pounding beat of the Garage Blues and barreling through the crossroads of Roots punk & Rock noir. If you haven't heard their style before then you've missed a lot - four albums, a live DVD and nearly 600 performances in 13 countries. Musical accolades grow with each album - as does their huge live reputation. Beginning in 2000, they embraced the second coming of burlesque by including the amazing Voodoo Dollz Burlesque as a integral part of their spectacular live show. They play over 100 dates a year putting the cult back in culture ... and music before industry. Bangtown finds the band at its best. Minimize

Dare to explore the shadows of a forsaken sanitarium that is haunted by the souls of the dead. High upon the rocky cliffs overlooking the Miskatonic River, the hollow edifice of Blackthorn Asylum stands as a bleak monument to the horrors that once lurked within its desolate halls. Originally built as a sanitarium for the criminally insane, the asylum gained a grim reputation after dark rumors began to spread throughout the area. Whispered tales told of horrible experiments conducted upon Blackthorn's most violent and deranged psychopaths in an attempt to extract the essence of evil. Over the decades, the torments inflicted upon the inmates resulted in unlocking the demons from their minds, but as a horrific consequence, the tortuous experimentation also unleashed the vile malediction that now infests the abandoned corridors. This sinister soundscape offers an interactive murder mystery, with ghostly melodies, pulse-pounding orchestrations and spine-chilling sound effects to set a dark, nightmarish mood.

The story of a man who had it all, only to lose so much overnight. Revolving around tension and alienation on the personal, political, spiritual and athletic levels, Sylvester Stallone's portrayal of Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV was without question the most multi-dimensional role of his career. This isn't to shirk the original Rocky, which dealt with questions of class, ethnicity, and overcoming obstacles to victory -- but Rocky IV was more of a movie to be related to on a universal scale.This indomitable spirit is best exemplified by the album's lead-off track "Burning Heart". The logical sequel to Survivor's epic, instantly recognizable and painfully unforgettable sports anthem "Eye of the Tiger" finds the central protagonist a bit more mature and refined; world-weary from his battles and exponentially more introspec Minimize

To coincide with the 2006 release of ROCKY BALBOA (the sixth installment in the life of the beloved fictional pugilist created by Sylvester Stallone), Capitol records compiled this collection of music from the various films. In addition to Bill Conti's famed dramatic score--the highlight of which is the eternally inspiring title theme "Gonna Fly Now"--the disc includes original songs by the likes of James Brown ("Living in America"), Survivor ("Eye of the Tiger" and "Burning Heart"), John Cafferty ("Hearts on Fire"), and Three 6 Mafia (who provided "It's a Fight" for ROCKY BALBOA). This collection is as entertainingly over-the-top and undeniably uplifting as the Italian Stallion himself. Minimize
