Interestingly the second two images are of the later half of the first year of Starlight Express' life, Tom Jobe having replaced Jeffrey Daniel after the first six months. The first two photos are from previews, as were the other images accompanyting the article, which were images also published in the 1984 Brochure.

Photograph from the "Andrew Lloyd Webber Anthology" sheet music book.

Single releases

When Starlight Express first opened in london, several songs were released as chart singles. Andrew Lloyd Webber was said to have written the whole show deliberately to create chart success. Unfortunately, none of the songs made any impact, despite well-known names singing them. Jeffrey Daniel, who played Electra, was a member of the group "Shalamar" and was a star in his own right. However his single release of AC/DC did not catch the public imagination, despite this stunning cover art.
