Note: There is a copyright in 1969 by Leeds Music Ltd., and I think it is for the songs Superstar and John Nineteen: Forty One by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice (but the Pamphlet is not entirely clear).

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice thanked Sefton Myers and David Land of New Ventures (Theatrical Management) Limited; Brian Brolly, Alan Crowder, Mike Leander, Roger Watson and the staff of MCA (UK) Record Company Limited; the Decca Record Company (USA); and the staff of Olympic Sound Studios for their invaluable help and encouragement.

Leeds Music Limited published the music and lyrics to “Jesus Christ Superstar” with the exception of King Herod’s song, which is published by Norrie Paramor Music Limited.
