Product Details

Before it was a stage phenomenon or a film, Jesus Christ Superstar was first and foremost a record, and that origin matters. Rice and Lloyd Webber built their rock opera for the album format, letting the studio and the performances carry the full dramatic weight without a single set piece or costume to lean on. That it conquered audiences on pure musical terms alone speaks to how radical and emotionally direct this score really was.

Two CDs 50th Anniversary Edition. In 1970, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber released Jesus Christ Superstar as a concept double album. It became a massive global best-seller, topping the US Billboard Top LPs chart in both February and May 1971, as well as ranking at number one in the year-end chart. By 1983, the album had sold over 7 million copies worldwide. Within a year of it's chart success, stage productions of Jesus Christ Superstar began to appear all over the world, leading to record-breaking runs in the West End, a hit Hollywood film, Tony nominations and Olivier Awards.
