Tim Curry's Music

I had to crop and shrink the pictures so the page would load before the next century. Please click on each thumbnail to see the full picture.

Records are too large to fit entirely on my scanner, so here's as much of his album cover as I could capture. Tim autographed all three albums the same: "To Betty thanks Tim Curry."

Tracks on Read My Lips:
Birds of a Feather, Wake Nicodemus, I Will, Brontosaurus, Alan, All I Want, Sloe Gin, Harlem on My Mind, Anyone Who Had a Heart.

When Tim saw these albums he laughed and said "These are real collector's items." Well, I am a collector!

Tracks on Fearless:
Right on the Money, Hide this Face, I Do the Rock, S.O.S., Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire, Paradise Garage, No Love on the Street, Something Short of Paradise, Charge It.

This is a promotional flyer for the Fearless album.

When Tim toured Europe, his first stop was Germany, where he appeared on the German television talk show Bio's Bohnhoff (I've probably misspelled that!) Here he is taking tea with the host, Bio (pronounced Bee'-oh). Bio served Earl Grey, and Tim drank it without milk or sugar.

This is the front of the picture sleeve for the I Do the Rock 45.

This is the back of that same picture sleeve. The flip side of the record is Hide this Face.

Our Rocky Horror theater, the Hollywood, in Dormont (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, has Tim's two music videos, which it plays every week before the movie. One night when I was there the film broke, so they had to cut out the ripped frames and splice the film back together. I got to keep the frames they removed, and had prints made out of them.

The album Simplicity.
Tracks:
Working on My Tan, She's Not There, Simplicity, On a Roll, Take Me I'm Yours, Dancing in the Streets, Betty Jean, Out of Pawn, Summer in the City, I Put a Spell on You.

This is the picture sleeve to the 45 Working on My Tan. Oh, man! Notice the David Hockney-style squiggles on the surface of the water.

This was the first CD I ever bought! It's Tim's compilation album The Best of Tim Curry which includes songs from his three records as well as a couple of live cuts from his touring days. "They couldn't call it Greatest Hits" he joked, "because there weren't any." Not quite true: I Do the Rock made the charts.

Tracks:
Birds of a Feather, I Will, Alan (live), Anyone Who Had a Heart, Working On My Tan, Simplicity, Out of Pawn, I Do the Rock, Charge It, Paradise Garage, No Love on the Street, S.O.S., Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire, Simple Twist of Fate (live).
