Suppertime is shorter than the version in the film, the orchestration is a little different and it's missing many of the Greek chorus's continued insistences to " Come on, come on.".Suddenly, Seymour is missing the minute-long orchestral outro.Feed Me (Git It) is missing huge chunks of dialogue, as well as Audrey II's lines when Seymour begins to sing (" Lighten up," " Tell it to the marines," etc.).Dentist! features different voices for the patients, some alternate takes from Steve Martin, and there's a different segue to the line " Oh, mama!" Additionally the alternate single edit includes sound FX, dialogue and the line " He's strictly a medical mess!," which is absent from all other versions of the song.Some Fun Now includes additional verses (" Pop Quiz!") and the interlude features a calypso version of the melody from the Ya Never Know, which this song was derived from.Additionally, Ellen Greene shot the monologue which is featured in the musical, but it only exists in the workprint. Somewhere That's Green is missing the instrumental bridge during Audrey's fantasy sequence ( where she waters the plants, interacts with animated birds and hosts a Tupperware party).Grow For Me has a shorter intro and is missing mid-section orchestrations where Seymour realizes that Twoey wants blood.

It's Michelle Weeks ( Ronette) who sings the opening solo in Skid Row (Downtown) (leading to persistent rumors that she dubbed actress Bertice Reading in the film), Donny Gerrard sings most of the male lines, and there are other vocal inconsistencies throughout the song.

Prologue (Little Shop of Horrors) begins with ominous narration by Bill Mitchell, as opposed to the comical narration by Stan Jones that opens the film.

Here's a rundown of the notable differences: In addition to omitting Suppertime II and the (originally deleted) reprise of Somewhere That's Green, virtually every song deviates from the versions featured in the film. Additionally, a radically different version of " Some Fun Now" was recorded by the cast as a demo, and other demos may exist for " A Salute to Vegetables" and " Thundercrash" (which was ultimately replaced by " Some Fun Now").

Menken was taken aback when Miles Goodman was nominated for a "best original score" Golden Globe, and he made it a point to compose future film and TV scores for his works, though (like director Frank Oz himself) Menken was not asked to participate in the creation of " The Director's Cut."Īt least three additional songs were recorded for use in the film but have never seen the light of day: " Your Day Begins Tonight", " Crystal, Ronnette & Chiffon" (each composed and recorded for potential use during the end credits), and Levi Stubbs' rendition of " Bad" (which was replaced by " Mean Green Mother" after the film's production was well underway). Lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken were tied up with other projects and had no direct involvement. Robby Merkin, who orchestrated the original Off-Broadway production, pulled double, triple and quadruple duty, receiving a variety of credits on the album and overseeing the production in England.

In addition to outright omitting " Suppertime II" and Miles Goodman's orchestral score, there are drastic musical and lyrical deviations in every song except " Da-Doo." The reprise of " Somewhere That's Green" was not included in the theatrical cut and would have seemed out of place on the album, but they included a severely truncated chorus version of " Don't Feed the Plants." Several singles were issued, including two different remixes of " Dentist" (" Edit" and " Dub") and at least three variations of " Mean Green Mother From Outer Space."

The album was originally released on CD, cassette tape, vinyl record, and it's now available digitally.
