Conceived by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice while the British duo were still in their early 20s, the rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR was released in 1970 as a studio album before its many subsequent stage productions. Featuring Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan as Jesus and Murray Head as Judas, this recording presents the initial versions of these well-known Broadway tunes, including the funky, frenetic "What's the Buzz?/Strange Thing Mystifying" and "The Temple," a hauntingly chaotic number. Although other productions of the musical are highly regarded, this original version is arguably the best.

Music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics by Tim Rice.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

4 stars Original of musical and still the best version
This is a great version of the JC Superstar musical and still the best one I like. The vocalists are very strong and the music is what set the standard. This CD seems to eb remixed as the sound is very clear and balanced - more so that the original vinyl LPs. I love it.

5 stars Truly a classic!
This soundtrack has the best of everything. First, it pays proper respect to God and scripture. Secondly, the arrangements smoothly blend rock and opera together. Lastly, all of the singers perform their parts with powerful emotion and range. This production far exceeds "The Passion of the Christ" in capturing Jesus' last agonizing days on earth.

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. The definitive rock opera, TOMMY liberated the Who from a "singles band" stigma, marking them as a substantial artistic force. Composer Pete Townshend had flirted with the conceptual format on two previous releases, but here his vision is spread over two ambitious records that play to the Who's main strengths. Anthems such as the raucous "Pinball Wizard" ...

This reissue of AQUALUNG includes a 15-minute interview and 5 bonus tracks. The booklet contains 20 pages of lyrics, photographs and reviews. The leap from 1970's BENEFIT to the following year's AQUALUNG is one of the most astonishing progressions in rock history. In the space of one album, Tull went from relatively unassuming electrified folk-rock to larger-than-life conceptual rock full of sophisticated compositions and complex, intellectual ...

Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than their peers did. This definitive compilation, masterfully assembled by the ABKCO think tank of Teri Landi and Jody ...
