Summary: Just brilliant!
Comment: It may not be the film soundtrack and therefore be missing at least two nice tracks, but the sound of this particular recording is much better than the one from the movie. I fully recommend it for those who enjoy actually sitting down and listening to great music on a great sounding CD.

Summary: Lasts with you for an eternity (But one big gripe)
Comment: An incredible highly melodic and memorable score matched by an irreplaceable cast headed by Ian Gillian as Christ and Murray Head as Judas.
Murray's vocals especially his opening "heaven on their minds" is incendiary and Ian Gillian puts so much passion into his role that it is simply mindblowing especially his ear piercing metallic screams.
This is a recording for the ages and THE ONLY GRIPE I HAVE BUT IT'S A BIGGGGGGGG ONE IS WHY IN THE HECK WOULD THEY RERELEASE THIS ON CD WITH A DIFFERENT COVER?????
MANY TIMES THE ART ON AN ALBUM MAKES AN ARTISTIC STATEMENT AS STRONG AS THE MUSIC WITHIN!
WHAT THE HECK IS THEIR PROBLEM?
I GREW UP WITH THIS ALBUM FROM AGE5 ON AND THE BROWN COVER WITH THE ANGELS IS HOW IT WAS RELEASED.
DO THEY THINK THAT THE ORIGINATORS OF THIS CREATION GOT IT WRONG?
WHAT A BUNCH OF JERKS!
DO US A FAVOR AND RELEASE IT THE WAY THE ARTIST INTENDED IT TO BE NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE!
Besides that, this recording is stellar and if you love rock opera then here's the gold standard.

Summary: A Strange thing, Mystifying
Comment: Oh...my...Word. The first time I listened to this, I was almost in tears. It is that kind of good. This ensemble cast...oh wow...what to say that hasn't already been said. Ian Gillian, awesome. Everyone else, awesome. If you do not have a lump in your throat after listening to this, you are not human. I mean, it is really, "That kind of Good." This is, in some ways, better than the (original) movie soundtrack. Having said that, there are certain points in the movie track I like a tad better. I have not heard the "millenium" version in total yet so I cannot compare this to that. Only song I've heard from that version is "I Don't....love him" and it is maybe better than on here. But this is very well worth the listen.

Summary: For Believers or Non-Believers, This Is The REAL DEAL!
Comment: At 13 years old I bought my first LP, "Machine Head", when it was released in 1972. I subsequently fell head over heels in love with Ian Gillan's voice.
A couple years later, I discovered JCS, and bought the LP, accompanied by the lyrics book complete with ultra-cool hand-drawn illustrations of the faces of each of the primary artists. I was even more impressed with Gillan's voice, as Jesus Christ, and I still marvel at his vocal skills.
I listened to the LP until I knew every bit of it, and could sing all of the songs in sequence (the lyric book was positively ratty after the hours I spent rifling through it). Even now, after having bid adieu to a turntable more than 20 years ago, it is one of the few LPs I still own.
I would recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys rock, opera, musicals or the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice. It has excellent musical arrangements, amazing vocal stylings all presented through a unique vantage point on what many consider "The Greatest Story Ever Told", seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot (played brilliantly by Murray Head).
Look for stand-out tracks, primarily due to the fantastic vocals: "Heaven On Their Minds", "Damned For All Time/Blood Money", "Gethsemane(I Only Want To Say)" and "King Herod's Song (Try It And See)".
Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, this opera is a piece of art that would be enjoyed by all.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: I have found this soundtrack amazing since the first time I heard it. The orchestrations are outstanding!! This my first encounter with Andrew Lloyd Weber. Took me a while to find a copy on CD but worth the wait. Thank you Amazon!

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
