This was the first musical written
by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice
in 1965 but which would be left unfinished, and largely ignored, as
they
went on to work on
"Jesus Christ Superstar" instead.
However, for the fortieth
anniversary, the show was performed at ALW's
Sydmonton Festival on 9th July 2005
which was recorded and officially released
and again, a few days later
for the BBC (this recording) with much the same cast
but with some minor changes
in Stephan Fry's
hilarious narration and a new
introduction
The quality is perfect but
for a slight radio flutter during the reprise
of "the likes of
Us" at the end of CD2.
