Original double LP box set of Jesus Christ Superstar, the landmark rock opera composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice, released in 1970 by Decca Records under catalog number DXSA 7206. The set features a brown faux-leather textured gatefold cover with gold embossed emblem and title, and includes a complete libretto booklet. The record labels are gold-toned with matching graphics, and the dead wax etching reads LN7 214 1, corresponding with early pressings of this significant musical release. This album presents the original concept recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, performed by an all-star British cast and recorded in England. It features Ian Gillan (of Deep Purple) as Jesus, Murray Head as Judas Iscariot, and Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, along with Barry Dennen, Mike d'Abo, Victor Brox, and members of several notable UK rock bands including The Grease Band and Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation. Backed by a 56-piece orchestra and the voices of the City of London, the production combines classical instrumentation with rock and gospel influences to reinterpret the final days of Jesus through a modern lens. Released prior to its stage debut, Jesus Christ Superstar became a cultural phenomenon and broke ground as one of the first successful rock operas. Its narrative structure, ambitious themes, and musical fusion of genres helped usher in a new era of theatrical and recorded performance, eventually inspiring Broadway and film adaptations.
