Jesus Christ Superstar: First All American Cast (1971)

This is one of the more obscure Superstar recordings from the early seventies. The exact year of release is uncertain (currently estimated at 1971 thanks to the help of CastAlbums.org), but Tim Rice reportedly once mentioned that it was one of the first recordings to appear outside the UK after the original concept album was released.

The version the JCS Zone community now has is owed entirely to the efforts of JCS super-fan Mark Ellison, who went to great lengths to convert this old, rare EP to a digital format. According to his notes: “Considering this was an EP, and in the worst possible shape (including warped), it came out really well, and, I believe, better than some that are going around. […] I had to play it wet with a solution that stops vibration and with weights on the pickup, then 6 months with a digital mixer, and removal of all scratches by hand.”
