ONE OF TIM RICE AND ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S EARLIEST PIECES AND EASILY THEIR FINEST - FINDING ALL THE LEADS IN TREMENDOUS FORM AND WITH IAN GILLAN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING IN THE TITLE ROLE - VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

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,Ian Gillan and Yvonne Elliman 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, featuring rock and classical elements, and contain many abruptly shifting dynamics and time signatures. In many ways this is the definitive version of the work
