We should be clear about which version we are talking about though. The original with Ian Gillan as Jesus was not a soundtrack, it was released some years before the stage show or the film. As Cert says, it was a rock opera.

I'd agree it should be added to the Various artists section.

Yep - it's Prog alright.

It's not just a musical - it's a full-blown Rock Opera, way beyond the simplicity of "Tommy".

Almost the same goes for "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" - the first ever Rock Opera (it beat "Tommy" by a few months...).

And ALW's Variations is a Pure Prog album - Rock variations on a theme of Paganini, played by most of Colosseum II and other distinguished musicians?

Of course it's Prog!

Sorry, I'm sure Andrew Lloyd Webber is very good at what he does, but if he or anything by him ends up on this site,then it's time for me to go.

What do you think about this Soundtrack Album?

Yesterday i listened to it in its two versions, spanish and the original with the artist of the movie, and i found it quite progressive in most of the songs, its a concept album, with constant evolution , mood changes, experimentation ,symphonic rock and a lot of beautiful passages.

I think this album should be in the archives.. do you think the same??
