Hi Chris
Thanks for getting back to me. The thanks are appreciated but not necessary. I posted it to enhance the wealth of material available on the site. It's an amazing resource for anyone interested in Rocky Horror or Shock Treatment and any other related shows.
I'm sorry I couldn't oblige any sooner than I did.
I will say it's not my bootleg I received it second hand, although I did see the show with this cast. I didn't enjoy Mark Little's performance as Farley Flavours his vocals weren't good enough.
I enjoyed it for what it was, but missed some of the more prominent characters from the film like Bert Schnick.
I hope you enjoy listening to it and have a great birthday.
I've seen Ralf Little a few times and I must say I've never found much talent in the man. However, I enjoyed what they did with the plot. I think having fewer characters actually worked and simplified things, they could even removed Farley as it seemed he was barely in it. Judging by this bootleg alone the band could have filled out a bit better with more musicians. It sounds a little thin at times. How did it sound at the time? I think Adam Rhys-Davies tried to play Cosmo a little "Riff-Raffish", which I loved. But then other times I heard him completely drop the accent. Still, it sounds like he's one of the better actors there. Janet could have been made a bit more raunchier. Nic Lamont also sounds very Patricia Quinn at times! She was a very good casting choice! I don't think I'll be listening to it again, but it's a good add to the collection and I'm glad that they remade it for the stage. It needed to be done!
