Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
It may not have been the first "rock opera" (the Who's Tommy was released in 1969), but Jesus Christ Superstar was a legendary album long before it hit the stage, thanks to Tim Rice's compelling book and lyrics combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber's irresistible music. Telling the story of the last days of Christ from the point of view of Judas (Murray Head), the still-unmatched original cast also stars Deep Purple's Ian Gillan as Jesus and Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, the role she made into a career (with a cameo on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack). Decades later, such songs as "Superstar" , "I Don't Know How to Love Him", "Heaven on Their Minds" and "Everything's Alright" still retain their extraordinary power. --David Horiuchi

The Original Superstar And Still The Best,
By
This review is from: Jesus Christ Superstar (Audio CD)
There are atleast 10 to 15 recordings of this great Rock Opera circulating the world perhaps more but this is the original and still the best. The cast in this recording is absolutely wonderful especially Ian Gillan as Jesus and Murray Head as Judas, they are both superb and their voices are incredible. I had the rare opportunity to see a production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR with Ted Neely as Jesus and Carl Anderson as Judas from the original 1973, film and they were both fantastic. This recording is a marvel to listen to and the 76 piece orchestra that they used in the studio is also fantastic. This is the absolute best recording of this Opera and it also makes for a great Rock album as well. I'm not too much into religion at all but you don't have to be to realize that this is a superb album full of great songs and a great classical score provided by a top orchestra as the London Symphony. There is even one song that topped the U.S. charts in 1970, before this legendary Rock Opera made its debut on Broadway in 1971. "Superstar", was release as a single and it climbed the Pop and Rock charts of the United States and England so by the time this production premiered on Broadway people already knew about JCS in a way. Don't be fooled by the other recordings of this production this is the original and still the best. I doubt very seriously that another recording of this material will ever top this one. This double album rocks with awesome power and this classic reocording has already proven to be timeless. So if you want to listen to JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, the way is was meant to be than get this one the original and still the best.

Classic Rock Musical,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jesus Christ Superstar (Audio CD)
This is one of the best CD compilations I have ever listened to for a Broadway musical. Released before the opening of the show, this version of JCS is amazing. The Judas and Mary Magdalene seriously give chills. A must have for anyone who likes Rock Musicals.
