Jesus Christ Superstar 3CD Cover

"Nothing could convince me that any show that has sold two and one-half million copies of its album before the opening night is anything like all bad," wrote The New York Times' Clive Barnes on October 13, 1971 upon the New York debut of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar.  Indeed, the original Jesus Christ Superstar album was a sensation long before it ever hit Broadway's Mark Hellinger Theatre.  A true hybrid of rock and theater, it was introduced as a record but

Andrew Lloyd Webber Platinum Collection

Since September 25, 1979, there hasn't been a day when an Andrew Lloyd Webber melody hasn't been heard on Broadway.  That was the opening night of Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita.  Before it ended its run in June 1983, Lloyd Webber's musical Cats had opened, launching a record-breaking run through September 2000.  But on January 26, 1988, the show opened which would eclipse them all: Phantom of the Opera.  It today celebrates 30 years (marked with a special gala earlier this week) and is

Tales of Justine

To collectors of rare psychedelia, Tales of Justine is known for one lone single on the HMV label.  The band's lone platter of "Albert" b/w "Monday Morning" came and went in October 1967.  Its lead singer, David Daltrey (thought to be a distant cousin of The Who's Roger) went on to sing the title role on the original concept album of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - no surprise, as Lloyd Webber orchestrated and Rice produced the band's
