NOTES

2012 Australian. Re-release Contained in a modern 2012 slip cover with the star design from the 2012 stage show 2012 remaster by Dick Beetham at 360 Mastering, London.

Cover in the jewel case is the classical 1970 cover while the slip cover features the star artwork from the 2012 stage version.

Interesting notes by Andrew Lloyd Webber in the booklet :
"When I was asked to remaster "Jesus Christ Superstar" I was excited.
Although the original British vinyl was much better and brighter than the American it was mastered decades ago. Here was a chance to go back to the masters and re-EQ them for today.
Then I discovered that the original masters had been lost, possibly in a fire at Universal USA a few years ago. Only three of the original 16-track tapes survived out of the twenty from which the masters were mixed. Sadly these three did not contain any unreleased materials. There was a never before heard sequence I had hoped to find. It looked like the project had stalled.
Then a search through my archives unearthed a complete copy set of the final masters that I had forgotten I owned. But I instantly remembered them when I saw the boxes because our engineer Alan O'Duffy had written on them "Handle With Love".
This remastered "Superstar" is the result of many hours of trial and error but I hope it has been worth it.
The new EQ means keen ears will detect the odd dodgy edit. And at one point you may hear a mistakenly mixed distant "count in"! But I hope this is outweighed by the new life that this remastering has brought to those old tapes."
