The film was good, the show was better, but the music in the original oratorio was and still is the best version of Jesus Christ Superstar ever done . The voices are all different except for Yvonne Elliman, and the music was composed, and directed by Andrew Lloyd Weber. The copyright on the piece is dated 1970 long before it was played or filmed. Judas Escariot got top billing and was sung by Murray Head, who really owned the character. Jesus Christ was sung by Ian Gilliam (of Deep Purple). The music CD is still around and is well worth the money especially if you are fond of solid rock performances.
