Catch My Soul. A live recording of the original cast was recorded with the original UK cast of Jack Good's Catch My Soul-The Rock Othello. It featured the rock band Gass[1] who had been the house band for the UK stage production.[2]
The album was made in conjunction with Jack Good Productions who brought in vocal and musical arrangers Emil Dean Zoghby, John Bennett and Phil Kenzie. The album was recorded over several days at The Birmingham Repertory Theatre using the Pye mobile studio and was produced by Peter Knight.[3]

The album sleeve stated: "Jack Good Production Ltd & Theatre Projects Associates Ltd presents the '69 Theatre Company production of Jack Good's Catch My Soul-The Rock Othello[3]". Jack Good, the producer of the show, wrote this:
“ | So if you hurt the one you love, it's because you love her best of all, as I believe the Marquis de Sade once remarked. I love Shakespeare's Othello. I also love rock. This long-long-long playing Gramaphone record is an all live, un-retouched, un post-dubbed record and this is why it is so bloody awful. But you can't have everything, as I believe that other eminent Balliol man Edward Heath once remarked. Now to biographical comment on myself. In the mid fifties, I used to be Jack Good, the bright eyed, Boy wonder, producer of the epoch-making Rock TV sensations, Six-Five Special and Oh Boy!. Today I am nearly forty, totally bald, bleary eyed, rich and famous. I have given my all to the Rock 'n' roll public. So, in gratitude, you might at least buy this record![3] | ” |
