Yep, although Shock Treatment is really ahead of its time if you consider Big Brother and the reality TV phenomenon. Plus I like the music more than Rocky Horror Show, dare I say it. Btw, I got ahold of Jim Sharman's biography, which he recently did, and he hasn't mentioned anything about Shock Treatment so far.
