Most people today forget that there was even a London cast recording (highlights) with Paul Nicholas as Jesus, Stephen Tate as Judas, and Dana Gillespie as Mary. I don't believe it's ever been released on CD, most likely because it is really not very good. I'm shocked to learn it received a Grammy nod (although it wasn't as Best Album - it was in the Best Pop Vocal Group category. (They lost to The Carpenters.) Interestingly enough, the Album of the Year that year was Carole King's Tapestry, which more or less found its way to Broadway eventually with Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
The Broadway JCS album was nominated for Album of the Year the following year (losing to George Harrison's A Concert for Bangladesh). |
