I'm surprised at the prices being asked for this record. I got a NM copy for about £15 about 2 years ago. Sound quality is excellent. Very warm and rich sound.

The two Jessica Harper songs are the highlights but the final track by Paul Williams is bloody brilliant especially the instrumental outro.

Great sound on this pressing. Why this film wasn't bigger than Rocky Horror is beyond me. A little known 70's masterpiece, musically and theatrically.

Very underrated camp. A soon as this movie hits Netflicks or some other platform it will be recognized as a classic.
Hilarious story line with brilliant stage performances by Beef and the Juicy Fruits.
Paul Williams is amazing and short. Really short. But that doesn't matter. The guy is a genius.
Listen to Good bye, Eddie, Goodbye and tell me I'm wrong

Does anybody noticed that "The hell of it" he last track of this LP version (I don't know others but I used to hear to the CD version previously) is about a minute shorter? I think the track last about 2:55 instead of what is written on the label (3:57) and instead of the CD version (3:46) ....

A criminally underrated film and in my opinion one of the best soundtracks to come out of the 1970s with Paul Williams at the top of his game!

Strangely the only people involved in this who went on to have major careers were Paul Williams and Brian DePalma. The singers/actors (including Jessica Harper) should have got much more recognition than they did.
