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

Recorded in New York, New York on October 20, 1971. Originally released on Decca (DL7-1503). Includes liner notes by Peter Filichia.

Writers Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice set several precedents with this album. First, it is a pre-stage studio version, and it topped the US charts upon release. Second, it is the first show to successfully put rock music in a theatrical context (Hair is really a pop/show-music pastiche, not rock). Third, it is a "sung-through" musical without spoken dialog, technically an operetta. Fourth, though musicals had turned more serious at this point, writing a show about Jesus Christ from the point of view of Judas was about as daring as you could get. It succeeds in all ways. In addition to the title song (a #14 hit sung by Murray Head), it includes "I Don't Know How to Love Him" by Yvonne Elliman. ~ William Ruhlmann

4 stars Broadway excitment comes through on CD
Excellent recorded version of Webber's original tunes done by stars who honed them in night after night of performance. This is the definitive recording if you want to feel as though you're watching and hearing the show in a theatre with an excellent cast. The sparse musical arrangement is tight and does not detract from the lyrics Rice worked hard on to get across. I recommend it highly!
