As far as
High Fildelity goes it seems that the video circulating was probably made for TV and not exactly a promo video like her
Do The Swim and Stilletoes & Lipstick were. It may even have been a one off project for them. It could very well exist on a test pressing since she did release half a dozen singles with varrying pressings/promo copies.
I'm a huge
Little Nell fan and I must admit I've never heard of this before or read about it in any of my material which leads me to believe it was one of those random projects they collaborated on that never went anywhere. ANyone know who was responsible for the video surfacing? It was never even shown at any of the conventions either.
The
Planet Schmanet/Sword of Damocles single has every probablility of existing. I used to think it didn't but now with the release of 2011's
Absolute Treasures MP3
Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack which finally included the studio recordings of
Sword of Damocles and
Planet Schmanet Janet & Planet Hot Dog as well as an alternate vocal take of Barry's
Once In A While; leads me to believe it does exist after all. Why in th eworld did
Fox or Rhino whoever has the controlling rights to the soundtrack wait so long to give us these studio recordings? It seems fitting they would have been included in the
15th Anniversary box Set which featured many rare and never before heard material.
The
french cast LP i think is a bootleg of sorts and the Japanese make so many rarities as far as rocky goes. I'm still waiting for a copy of the
Original Japanese video version of Rocky that according to the
Audience Participation collector's guide says exists a version that "has been re-colorized and the sound has been re-mixed. (you'll hear things in this version you will never hear from another source)"
I own the
4-song EP which was released around 1979. I believe the SOundtrack was released in the US though in late 1978 not 1979. I have print ads for the soundtrack dating that time.
