 Recorded over three nights at Norwich, this new CD from Damn It Janet records (order number DAMJAN2CD) features Jason Donovan as Frank 'N' Furter.
The CD is edited down from a full show with some dialogue missing, as the average show is over an hour and a half this seems to be due to the seventy odd minute time restriction CD's have. Personally I do think it's better to have a slightly edited single CD than incur the extra cost and inconvenience of a second disc. The Audience Participation aspect is also somewhat subdued, whether this is deliberately so or due to the fact that the CD was recorded during the week rather than the Friday and Saturday performances we don't know.
Along with the show there are two bonus tracks featuring re-mixes of the TimeWarp. Like some of the additional tracks on the Interactive Rocky Game they tend to grow on you after a few plays. They are certainly far better than the Damien version of the TimeWarp that we had to suffer listen to a couple of years back.
The CD has a small booklet included with around nineteen images from the 1998 touring stage production with Jason Donovan (and even a TimeWarp Fan Club advertisement, thanks guys!)
