Jesus Christ Superstar: The Original Motion Picture Sound Track Album

Jesus Christ Superstar: The Original Motion Picture Sound Track Album is the 1973 film soundtrack of the rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The album adapts the stage work into a 1970s rock-inflected film sound, combining theatrical song structures with electric guitars, pop-rock arrangements and gospel-tinged vocal harmonies. Lead performances by Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson and Yvonne Elliman emphasize dramatic, front-and-center vocals while Lloyd Webber’s melodic motifs and Rice’s narrative lyrics preserve the operatic framework in a contemporary rock production.
