When this was released back in 1975, it was more than a movie - it was a cultural earthquake. There wasn't anything quite like it then or now and for its 50th anniversary, the soundtrack gets remastered and reissued, The package has bonus goodies like Richard Hartley's handwritten session diary, the multi-track sheet for 'Don't Dream It, Be It' and rare photos featuring Tim Curry, Meat Loaf and director Jim Sharman. As a listening experience, Rocky Horror remains surprisingly timeless. Unlike many film soundtracks weighed down by dialogue or overly tied to their source, this one thrives on its own. The arrangements are often lavish, and occasionally sly but always catchy. The cast steal the show: Curry's decadent swagger, Meat Loaf's bombast and Susan Sarandon's unexpectedly strong vocals bring Hartley's orchestrations to life. The album embodies the gleeful camp and theatricality that would ripple through glam rock, punk and cult cinema alike. It's as much a cultural artifact of the 1970s as early SNL or Firesign Theatre, yet it has aged far more gracefully. Even without the film's visuals or the midnight ritual, the soundtrack remains a deliriously fun, stand-alone listen.
