rare tim curry


i don't remember where or when i found this shot of a younger tim curry, but i've been rolling 'clue' a lot lately, so i figured why not post it. i think its pretty close to the late 70's. it looks like he's in a recording studio, so i'm guessing he was laying down the vocals for the 'rocky horror picture show' soundtrack, or one of his cool solo albums. i had all three of them on vynil at one point. i realize i'm kind of biased when it comes to tim curry, but i also have a low tolerance for crappy music, and i remember playing 'read my lips,' and 'fearless' into the ground, so i think i can safely say those two lp's are surprisingly strong. his third, 'simplicity,' is almost as good, too. seek them out if you can. some of the best tracks never made it onto the hard-to-get 'greatest hits' CD.
