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.
