this is music that i already own on vinyl and needed to get it in cd format so i could download it on my ipod. i didnt remember how much i liked it until i began to play it again on my cd player. it is a great sampling of the musical highlights, all the best cuts and some of the best performances.
Only thirteen of the songs are included on this CD. The whole show depending on how they list the songs vary from 24 to 29 songs. It would have been nice to hear The Last Supper or Simon Zealottes. Maybe on a future release will they include the whole show?
This isn't the best JCS album that you'll hear, but it's nice to finally have this album in the CD format.
