The Musical World of Rocky Horror

This is the original soundtrack to the 1981 film Shock Treatment - Richard O'Brien's "Not a prequel, not a sequel, but an equal" follow-up to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The album was produced by Richard Hartley (who also wrote, arranged, and directed the music in addition to playing keyboards). All songs from the movie are included, other than a Richard O'Brien solo version of the title track that is played during the end credits which was released separately as a 7" single instead. The end of the "Denton, U.S.A." track additionally includes complete dialogue for the Farley Flavors' Fabulous Fast Foods (F for...) commercial, and the "Breaking Out" track also has dialogue for the intro to Brad and Farley's "Duel Duet". The soundtrack includes longer versions of "Thank God I'm A Man" (re-including an omitted verse by Harry Weiss) and "Carte Blanche" (the song playing over the background speakers while Janet is in the dressing room).

As of this writing in 2009, the CD reissue has been in print continuously since its release and is easily available from CDUniverse, Amazon, or similar.

Both the original vinyl and the CD reissue have the same tracks and front cover. The LP back cover features a lot more photos than the CD back cover (since there's more room, obviously). The credits that were present on the LP back cover were moved into the CD liner notes, for the most part.
