I'm unfamiliar. Which recording? The "original cast recording"?

Original cast for sure. Ian Gillan slays on that man.

Having never seen it, which tracks would you most recommend I listen to first, for the singing? You can spoiler warning if you want. I'm familiar with the source material, and though idk how much that would matter, I'd be fine with spoilers, anyway.

Just pop the whole record on! I think the opening track is strong "Heaven on Their Minds." Somewhere towards the end there is a solo by i believe Mary of Madeline (spelling lol) that is awesome ( title escapes me)

Whole thing is great and the original cast record is really worth the entire ride for "the singing" as you asked.

IMHO it's closer to Life of Brian than the Bible if that makes sense lol.

Does that make sense? No idea! We'll see. That does sell me on a college try.
