Maybe there´s something never released b4 here - I wonder what happened to the RHPS-Sword of Damoclese - versions. They recorded it with another artist for the movieproduction, but then did a re-synchro of Rocky´s songs after the filming was finished. The version we all know is Trevor White.
This version was finally released last year on the album "The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Absolute Treasures soundtrack. They released the soundtrack with previously unreleased studio tracks for Once In A While (different vocal take than the one on the 15th anniversary), Rocky's original voice (the one Peter Hinwood lip-synched to NOT the Trevor White vocal which is the film version), and Planet Schmanet Janet/Planet Hot Dog.
As far as Sweet Transvestite goes, it's a toss up. Like I said many artists covered the rocky horror show's songs during that time period. One has to question if the Ziggy byfeild version is on the Tea Richboy record label like the others since thats the label all these were pressed one with the kim and ritz singles etc. The b-side of Peter Straker's could have been touch me.
You should read Rocky Horror: From Concept to Cult. First hands accounts on everything including this subject here. that's where i've gotten most of my information.
