"JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR"

DOUBLE LP

FEATURING IAN GILLAN

(OF DEEP PURPLE)

 

ULTRA RARE

 

This is the earliest possible 'Advanced' 1st UK pressing on the mega rare orange/yellow swirl style MCA Label & star-shaped fold-out cover

MKPS 2011/2 7-214-2/7-215/7-216-2/7-217 Matrix Numbers 1O/1G/1G/?? '1' stampers!!! For some reason, none of these advanced pressings had any stampers on Side 4

The 'Jesus Christ Superstar' Double LP, featuring Ian Gillan, was released in the UK with several different cover types and with several different MCA labels. This advanced pressing  is the earliest and rarest due to its unique 'star-shaped' fold-out cover and its late-1960s style MCA labels with the orange/yellow swirl design. The cover is made by E J Day whereas later pressed UK covers were invariably made by Robert Stace.

Cover: Rare E J Day unlaminated 'advanced' 1st UK pressing 'star-shaped' cover.  These star-shaped covers are very fragile. This one has no missing pieces, no writing/doodles and no stickers but does have some corner and edge wear. Rates as VG - see photos.

 

Inner sleeves: Decca blue & white (dated 1970) inner sleeves in VG condition.   Booklet: Norrie Paramour (not E J Day) manufactured booklet in Good condition with loose staples and edge wear.   Vinyl: Thick heavy duty Decca pressed vinyl. Not play tested but looks to be VG condition.   Labels: Ultra Rare - orange/yellow swirl labels with 'Made in England' text around the label perimeter. Near Mint condition.  Side one
