The Steinway Pianola Meets Rocky Horror
The Steinway Pianola Meets Rocky Horror - A Player Piano Transcription of the Stage and Film Musical The Rocky Horror Show by Richard O'Brien
LP Credits
Arranged and interpreted by L. Douglas Henderson
Technical and Recording Assistance by Susan Endicott and Bertin Bernier
Production Background
One of the most unique interpretation of the music from The Rocky Horror Show, this 1980 LP contains the first complete motion picture musical score to the medium of orchestrated player-piano rolls. The rolls were arranged and perforated by L. Douglas Henderson of The Musical Wonder House, and took over a year to hand-perforate. The player-piano used in the recording of the LP was a 1912 Steinway Grand Pianola.
