Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Premiere Collection Encore Explained
The Premiere Collection Encore is a 1992 compilation album by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The album acted as a follow-up to . In the four intervening years, the original London production of Aspects of Love and Lloyd Webber's new production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat had both opened; therefore a number of tracks were included from those shows.
A video compilation with the same title, but including songs from both albums, was released the same year on VHS and CD-i, and in 1993 on LaserDisc.
The songs' lyricists include Tim Rice, Don Black, Richard Stilgoe, Charles Hart and Trevor Nunn.
