JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR w/ IAN GILLAN (DEEP PURPLE) 1972 UK MCA - NEAR MINT
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTARA Rock Opera
UK MCA (MKPS 2011/12) SECOND PRESSING (1972) OF THE 1970 PREMIER RECORDING OF JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR: A ROCK OPERA - WITH DEEP PURPLE'S IAN GILLAN TAKING ON THE TITLE ROLE
GREAT COPY - BARLEY PLAYED AND DELIVERING SENSATIONAL SOUND
This original recording (released before the show was ever staged) has a rock flavour that is very different from Webber's later work.
This is due in part to the emotive singing of Murray Head and Ian Gillan and the playing of well-known rock session musicians such as guitarists Neil Hubbard and Chris Spedding, bassist Alan Spenner and drummer Bruce Rowland.
The musical arrangements are often multi-layered (with synthesisers and effects), featuring rock and classical elements, and contain many abruptly shifting dynamics and progressive time signatures.
In many ways this is the definitive version of the work
