This Limited-Edition EP was produced and mixed by Meat Loaf's long time record producer, music director, guitarist, Paul Crook. As Crook states, "I love Rocky Horror. I have some unique affiliations. Obviously, the first being Meat Loaf. Watching my Boss perform "Hot Patootie", crashing through a wall on a motorcycle while looking like a zombified version of Elvis Presley is a highlight. It's amazing that anyone could steal focus away from Tim Curry, but Meat pulled it off for me. His scene comes to my mind first when I think of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Another affiliation is Sebastian Bach. Our friendship goes back about 30 years in which I toured and recorded with him for several years after his departure from Skid Row. Sebastian handled the role of RIFF RAFF in the 2001 Broadway production. He was great, very entertaining and his voice worked well for the character. My third affiliation now, is this new EP" (continue)
