Description: This 1970 JC Superstar LP reviews is from online from AV Auken on 1/4/11,,,,,"Prove to me that you're no fool; Walk across my swimming pool!" Thanks to its included libretto and about 4,000 listenings, I still remember every single word within this brown covered gatefold LP, one of the greatest "soundtracks" ever released. In my opinion, this remains the best work of its famous authors. Once banned as sacrilegious by the BBC (according to Ted Neely, the film Judas), in the U.S. JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR reached #1 on Billboard's 200. It represents a unique example of theater imitating vinyl. After selling millions of copies worldwide, what had only been a studio recording was expanded by lyricist Tim Rice and composer AL Webber into a stage show. After playing to sellout crowds again in many countries, "Superstar" was adapted to film in 1973. Barry Dennen (Pilate) and Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene) are the only original studio cast members to appear in Norman Jewison's picture. MAIN CAST-- Ian Gillan - Jesus Christ Murray Head - Judas Iscariot Yvonne Elliman - Mary Magdalene Victor Brox - Caiaphas, High Priest Brian Keith - Annas John Gustafson - Simon Zealotes Barry Dennen - Pontius Pilate Paul Davis - Peter Mike d'Abo - King Herod That eerie synthesizer in the Overture (and elsewhere) is played by AL Webber himself. The guitarist is listed as Steve Vaughn, but it's not Stevie Ray. He was only 16 when this was recorded.
