I Do The Rock 7" Single by Tim Curry 10,912 views
This single was released in the UK along with Tim Curry's 1979 Fearless LP. The A-side is a shorter radio edit of Tim Curry's biggest 'hit' (it did actually reach #91 on the Billboard Hot 100), "I Do The Rock". The B-side is "Hide This Face", a lesser known song.
Both songs are original, with lyrics by Tim Curry. The music is by Dick Wagner and Michael Kamen (also the album's producers). The lyrics for "I Do The Rock" (only) are printed on the picture sleeve back. The full version of "I Do The Rock" was re-released on CD format in 1989 as part of the Best Of Tim Curry CD. "Hide This Face" has never been reissued.
