This recording is more of a single than a full-length album. It was only released on CD, and it was only sold during the Aarhus Teatre's production of TRHS. Since this recording has never been available in stores, and since it is less than ten minutes long, it's definitely one of the most interesting RH recordings released.

This recording only contains three songs:

The Time Warp

Sweet Transvestite

Over At The Frankenstein Place

Oddly enough, this recording is sung in Danish, but really it's more of a combination of BOTH Danish and English. A lot of the lyrics are sung in English, which makes it a bit easier for some American RH fans to enjoy.

The performances, musical arrangements, and production quality of this EP/CD are top-notch. It's very entertaining, but since there's so little on this recording, it really leaves the listener hungry for more. I think the highlight of this recording is 'Over At The Frankenstein Place'; it's a very smooth, delightful track. But the other two are quite good, as well.

Not too much can be said about such a short recording. The music is good, the performers are above average, and even though the cover is very odd-looking, the artwork in the inner sleeve is very original and comical.

Since this production of TRHS has since closed, I would assume that this CD/EP will most likely never be given a second pressing release, making it even more difficult to obtain.

I would recommend this CD/EP very highly (if you can come across it.)

MISSING TRACKS: 'Science Fiction/Double Feature,' 'Dammmit, Janet,' 'The Sword Of Damocles,' 'Charles Atlas Song,' 'Hot Patootie-Bless My Soul,' 'Charles Atlas Song (reprise),' 'Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me,' 'Once In A While,' 'Eddie's Teddy,' 'Planet Schmanet, Janet,' 'Rose Tint My World,' 'I'm Going Home,' 'Super Heroes,' and 'Science Fiction/Double Feature (reprise)'

*****AVAILABILITY*****
This CD/EP was only available at the Aarhus Theatre during this production of TRHS, and is no longer available. Memories Of The Past usually carries this CD in stock, but it is the ONLY place you'll find it. (But I cannot guarantee if MOTP will have it in stock.)
