In '67, the Head of the music department of Colet Court School in Londen had asked then unknown Andrew Lloyd Webber (and Tim Rice) to write a piece for the boys choir to sing during their end of semester concert. Eventually this resulted in the full grown Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. A positive review in the Sunday Times lured Decca in.
