Notes

The Rocky Horror Show opened a huge revival production in the West End in 1990. Tim Mcinnery stared as Frank and recorded the role for the cast recording. Tim was succeeded a year later by Anthony Head as Frank. This single was released due to the very positive reception of his take on the role.

"The Time Warp" is NOT performed by Anthony Head, even though his name is indeed on the label. It is the recording from the cast recording "The Whole Gory Story" featuring Edward Tudor Pole (Riff Raff), Linda Davidson (Columbia), Mary Maddox (Magenta) and Johnathan Adams (Narrator)

A review of the Rocky Horror Tribute - from the Guardian with a brief mention of Anthony Head.

Anthony Head was impressive as a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania disporting himself in heels as if it were second nature.

Sorry, I have to quote that. 'cause.

I would love to see Tony in heels! Heck, I would loved to have just been there. At how many late night, double feature picture shows did I just take a jump to the left? *fondly remembers*

"Rocky Horror" is my favorite musical...EVER!
I've never seen Tony Head in it (except for pictures). No doubts that he's great as Frank, but I still haven't seen anyone matching Tim Curry as the sweet transvestite.

Rocky Horror is not the greatest musical in the world. However, a strong Frank could really pretty much just save the day. The last time I saw the musical, Brad was more charismatic than Frank, which was criminal. I looooove the idea of hearing Mr. Head sing the part. I really enjoyed his album and I can totally imagine his acting chops infusing his singing with real spark. OMWF was proof enough that he's "got it all", as it were.
