In mono, Magenta sings her solo in "Time Warp" much differently
when it's in stereo (on the soundtrack) - but everyone's vocal
sounds atleast a LITTLE different in mono - some A LOT.
So what I'm wondering: 'Why does RHPS in stereo make the vocals
different'?.

Another question: The way the vocalists sang the songs - did
they originally sing the songs the way they do in mono sound or
the way they sound in stereo?

Remember, dude, we're talking about the low-budget RHPS...the thing is fulla
continuity errors and other junk.

Seriously, though, the possible explanation is that different "takes" of the
vocal tracks were used for the movie and LP versions. Happens all the time.
But note that in the "stereo" movie version of "Time Warp" the sound reverts
to the original mono track twice: first, during Magenta's verse; second, from
Columbia's tapdance to the beginning of Chuckie's last verse (the mono track
has a VERY slightly lower pitch, and less bass).

Speaking of bass, I remember when the 8th Street Playhouse (R.I.P.) used to
play the movie audio thru its "Sensurround" superwoofer system. Sensurround,
developed for the 1970s disaster movie "Earthquake," used a subharmonic
synthesizer to add very deep bass to the sound effects, thus creating that
rumbling sensation. With the songs in "Rocky" it sounded as if somebody was
playing live bass guitar along with the movie.
