<P> "Herod's Song" is a lyrical rewrite of "Try It and See", previously written by Lloyd Webber and Rice as a proposed British entry into the 1969 Eurovision Song Contest to be sung by Lulu, then recorded and released as a single by Rita Pavone . The writers had also included it (as "Those Saladin Days") in an aborted show called Come Back Richard Your Country Needs You . </P> <P> The melody of "I Don't Know How to Love Him" also predates Jesus Christ Superstar; it was rewritten from a 1968 Lloyd Webber / Rice collaboration titled "Kansas Morning". </P> <P> For the recording, Lloyd Webber and Rice drew personnel from both musical theatre (Murray Head had just left the West End production of Hair) and the British rock scene (Ian Gillan had only recently become the singer of Deep Purple). Many of the primary musicians--guitarists Neil Hubbard and Henry McCullough, bassist Alan Spenner, and drummer Bruce Rowland--came from Joe Cocker's backing group The Grease Band . Saxophonist Chris Mercer had also played with Hubbard in Juicy Lucy . </P> <P> The first piece of Superstar released was the title song, as a single in November 1969 backed with the instrumental "John Nineteen Forty - One ." The full album followed almost a year later . </P>
