On offer here is a very VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Blind Faith called 'Blind Faith' and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing!!!! THIS IS A SERIOUSLY RARE LP WITH A DIFFERENT AND INCREDIBLY RARE COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS VERY VERY HARD TO FIND WITH THIS MEGA RARE COVER - AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS STUNNING CONDITION!!!!  I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS LP AND SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE AND FINALLY COME UP WITH WHAT I THINK IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS LP HAS A STUNNINGLY RARE AND DIFFERENT COVER!!!!  BASICALLY WHEN BLIND FAITH WAS PROMOTED BEFORE RELEASE - THERE WAS A LOT OF 'OUTRAGE' BECAUSE OF THE 'GIRL' COVER.  MANY COMPANYS (AND IN SOME CASES WHOLE COUNTRIES) REFUSED TO SELL THE LP WITH THE 'GIRL' COVER.  HERE IN THE UK IT WAS EXPECTED THAT MANY SHOPS WOULD REFUSE TO STOCK THE LP WITH THE 'GIRL 'COVER' - SO QUICKLY ANOTHER COVER HAD TO BE DEVELOPED.  HOWEVER MANY SHOPS IN THE UK 'ROLLED OVER' AND STOCKED THE 'GIRL' COVER ANYWAY - WHICH IS OF COURSE IS WHY THE 'GIRL COVER' IS SO COMMON TODAY.  HOWEVER A VERY VERY FEW SHOPS DECIDED NOT TO STOCK IT - AND SO THIS 'OTHER' COVER WAS DEVELOPED.  HOWEVER NOT MANY OF THESE COVERS WERE EVER SOLD AT ALL - AND IN MY EXPERIENCE ONLY 1 IN EVERY 50 COPIES (IF THAT) TURN UP WITH THIS SINGLE FULLY LAMINATED COVER AND IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  THE COVER THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR SHOPS THAT REFUSED TO SELL THE 'GIRL' COVER IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE STANDARD (AND COMMON) COVER!!!!  IT IS A SINGLE SLEEVE WHICH IS FULLY LAMINATED AND MADE BY THE 'MACNEILL PRESS'.  IT ALSO HAS A DIFFERENT (AND MUCH RARER) CAT NUMBER '583 059B' - WITH THE 'B' FOR THE SECOND COVER DEVELOPED FOR THIS LP.  IT IS VERY PROBABLE THAT THIS MEGA RARE COVER  WAS ONLY STOCKED FOR A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME DURING THE RECORDS CHART RUN - AND ONCE THE 'HYPE' AND 'SHOCK' ABOUT THE COVER HAD SUBSIDED - THE FEW SHOPS THAT HAD REFUSED TO STOCK THE COVER SOON WENT BACK TO STOCKING THE STANDARD COVER.  TO SHOW EXACTLY HOW RARE THIS COVER IS - JUST TRY TO FIND ONE!!!!  IF YOU SEARCH FOR A BLIND FAITH LP - YOU WILL FIND MASSES OF COPIES OF THIS LP WITH THE STANDARD 1ST PRESS COVER - BUT BARELY ANY (IF ANY) WITH THIS RARE COVER!!!!  IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT (AND SHOWING JUST HOW EARLY AND RARE THIS LP IS) THE RECORD IS A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESS RECORD WITH A LARGER 1ST PRESS 'FLAT' POLYDOR LABEL AND A//1 B//1 MATRIX ENDINGS!!!!  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS EXTREMELY RARE LP WITH A MASSIVELY RARE COVER!!!!
