THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW:
Radio Commercials (7" promo single)

*7" VINYL SINGLE*
1975, 20th Century Fox, #DS211

*CD*
1996, bootleg collector's CD of EL SHOW DE TERROR DE ROCKY: Mexican Cast
1998, bootleg collector's CD of The R Files

This one-sided promotional 33 1/3 RPM single was issued to radio stations to promote TRHPS. The single features eight different radio commercials featuring Richard O'Brien and dialogue from the film. Each commercial is rather funny, and with Richard O'Brien, you know you won't be disappointed. Since this was only a promotional release, this 7" single is rather difficult to find, but well worth having in your library if you can find it.

The commercials on the single are all 30 seconds long (except the first one, which is 60 seconds long), and they are as follows:

Music (1:00)

Music (0:30)

Riff-Raff

Belt You Around The Mouth

Get Mother

Football Player

Wall Street Broker

Letter To Nixon

'Riff-Raff' and 'Belt You Around The Mouth' are featured on the compilation Songs From The Vaults which is available (only) in TRHPS 15th Anniversary Box Set. 'Belt You Around The Mouth' is also featured on the UK import compilation CD, The Ultimate And Best Of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW.

Also, the limited-edition collector's bootleg CD's of the Mexican Cast album and The R Files feature all eight commercials as bonus tracks.

*****AVAILABILITY*****
Out-of-print, and since this was a promotional item, it most likely only had one pressing around 1975. This will most likely never be released again, so if you can find a copy of the single, pick it up!! Since this item is a must-have, but so rare, one may try getting a cassette copy of these ads from a fan/collector who has them.
