Jesus Christ Superstar is a 1970 rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The album musical is a musical dramatisation of the last week of the life of Jesus Christ, beginning with his entry into Jerusalem and ending with the Crucifixion. It was originally banned by the BBC on grounds of being 'sacrilegious'.[3][4] By 1983, the album had sold over 7 million copies worldwide.[5]
Composition[edit]![]()
The album's story is based in large part on the Synoptic Gospels and Fulton J. Sheen's Life of Christ, which compares and calibrates all four Gospels. However, greater emphasis is placed on the interpersonal relationships of the major characters, in particular, Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene, relationships that are not described in depth in the Gospels.
Lyricist Rice said he took inspiration from the Bob Dylan song 'With God on Our Side'.[6]
'Herod's Song' is a lyrical rewrite of 'Try It and See', previously written by Lloyd Webber and Rice as a proposed British entry into the 1969 Eurovision Song Contest to be sung by Lulu, then recorded and released as a single by Rita Pavone. The writers had also included it (as 'Those Saladin Days') in an aborted show called Come Back Richard Your Country Needs You.
The melody of 'I Don't Know How to Love Him' also predates Jesus Christ Superstar; it was rewritten from a 1968 Lloyd Webber/Rice collaboration titled 'Kansas Morning'.
Recording[edit]
For the recording, Lloyd Webber and Rice drew personnel from both musical theatre (Murray Head had just left the West End production of Hair) and the British rock scene (Ian Gillan had only recently become the singer of Deep Purple). Many of the primary musicians â guitarists Neil Hubbard and Henry McCullough, bassist Alan Spenner, and drummer Bruce Rowland â came from Joe Cocker's backing group The Grease Band. Saxophonist Chris Mercer had also played with Hubbard in Juicy Lucy.
Release[edit]
The first piece of Superstar released was the title song, as a single in November 1969 backed with the instrumental 'John Nineteen Forty-One' (see John 19:41). The full album followed almost a year later.
The album topped the U.S. Billboard Top LPs chart in both February and May 1971[7] and ranked number one in the year-end chart ahead of Carole King's massive hit Tapestry.[8] It also served as a launching pad for numerous stage productions on Broadway and in the West End. The original 1970 boxed-set issue of this 2-record set was packaged in the U.S. with a special thin brown cardboard outer box which contained the 2 vinyl records and a 28-page libretto.
