JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR 1970 ORIG 1ST PRESSING MCA RED/PINK DOGBONE LABEL RARE

I am selling off some of my RARE and COLLECTABLE LP's as I simply have too many. Each of these is from my personal collection which I have built up over the last 30+ years and I will be sad to see some of them go!
All LP's have been cleaned on my VPI Cleaner and have been played in part or fully to check the audio quality.
Please bear in mind that some of these LP's are showing their age and they are very old but each one is described honestly as a collector. If you are not happy with your purchase, I will be happy to give a FULL refund once you have returned the LP to me. I know as a collector how important the description is so please let me know if you have any problems.
My grading generally follows RRPG but I do not (unlike some sellers) consider any LP to be MINT unless it is in fact NEW and UNPLAYED. Near Mint is the best grade I would give on a used LP.
I have taken many pictures that I feel show the LP in a true light so bid with confidence once you have looked at them all.
