Rocky Horror International (A Collection Of Rocky Horror Tracks From Around The World)
put together all the songs on the soundtrack in their original order,
taken from other cast albums. At the time, much of the material was
scarce. As a nod to fans, two songs that had been left off the original
Movie soundtrack LP were included for the first time anywhere; The
Sword of Damocles and Planet Schmanet, Janet plus the legendary,
cut-from-the-movie Once In A While, performed by Barry Bostwick.
Before the release of the 15th Anniversary Box Set, Once In A While
was only rumored to exist. At the time of the set’s release, none of the
songs included had appeared on CD.

Songs From The Vaults (A Collection Of Rocky Horror Rarities) is a compilation of rarities from the cast members. Songs from Shock Treatment are also included, as the LP was long out of print and had not yet been issued on CD. Four solo tracks recorded by Tim Curry
in the mid-70s from what would have been his first LP, had it been
released. The songs Baby Love and Just 14 had been released as a
single on Ode Records, though had extremely limited reach. Early singles by Kimi and Ritz (Richard O’Brien and then wife, and Transylvanian, Kimi Wong) were intended to be included, but were denied by their license holders.
Lou Adler oversaw the project as Executive Producer. Howard Frank produced the set, and Lisa Kurtz Sutton
served as Art Director for the package, and also wrote the liner notes
and complied the two rarities collections.
The fishnet background on the
box front and throughout the box were a Photostat of the first pair of
fishnets that Sutton wore as a cast member of The Rocky Horror Revue and The Tiffany Troupe
during the 1970's.
A large 12' x 12' image of the cover art was
displayed in front of Tower Records on the Sunset Strip for close to two
months in fall of 1990, to advertise the release.
