AllMusic[2]

The album peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard 200 in 1978.[3] It reached No. 12 on the Australian albums chart[4][5] and No. 11 on the New Zealand albums chart.[6] William Ruhlmann of AllMusic gave the album a retrospective star rating of five stars out of five and described it as the "definitive version of the [Rocky Horror] score".[7] This version of the soundtrack was certified Gold by the RIAA on 23 February 1981.

Following its initial release, the album was not successful, and was deleted everywhere but in Canada. Marty Scott, co-founder of Jem Records, obtained a licensing agreement from Ode Records owner Lou Adler, which enabled the album to be imported to the United States. Scott also obtained a production and distribution license from Adler, which resulted in renewed interest in the album.[8]

Omitted songs

The original soundtrack release omits two songs sung in the film: Rocky (Trevor White)'s "The Sword of Damocles" and the Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry)-led "Planet, Schmanet, Janet" (often referred to as "Wise Up, Janet Weiss"). Also omitted was "Once in a While", which was filmed but later cut.

All three songs were restored for the 25th anniversary release of the album (25 Years of Absolute Pleasure) however "Planet, Schmanet, Janet" lacks the final verse ("don't get hot and flustered") and they are in mono and ported directly from the film itself and so include all the sound effects and dialogue that would normally be omitted from a soundtrack album.

In 2011 these three songs were released, as MP3 format only, in their stereo, studio mixes on the download-only release The Rocky Horror Picture Show Complete Soundtrack: Absolute Treasures 2011 Special Edition. The 2011 album was later issued on double red vinyl for the film's 40th anniversary. However, incidental music and cues are not included and "The Sword of Damocles" features Brian Engel in place of Trevor White. The latter is included with Trevor White's vocals as a bonus track for the iTunes edition; this is the same version found on the 25 Years of Absolute Pleasure release, albeit in stereo and contains the dialogue and sound effects from the film.
