Details: Amazon.ca 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 Product Description In this musical, the team of Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics) turns the Biblical story of the founding of Christianity into a human tale that has continued to delight and inspire listeners since it's premiere in 1970. Starring Ian Gillian (Deep Purple) as Jesus, this release features the original London cast and includes the Libertto. This title is one of MCA's conversions of Classic Ultimate Master Disc to frontline pricing and is now available in a trim line double CD package.
