The original soundtrack to the 1973 film Jesus Christ Superstar was released in the same year on MCA Records. [1]
Billboard reviewed the soundtrack album and chose it as one of the "Top Album Picks" for the 16 June 1973 issue, writing: "All the powerful songs which have become popular and familiar through the release of the British caster three years ago, are rekindled with verve and zest by the movie cast. [...] Through all this there is one major question: if the first MCA original caster sold so well, who will buy the same music the second time around?" [1]
The album peaked at number 21 on Billboard's Top LPs and Tape chart for the week of September 15, 1973. [5]
