Blind Faith - S/T
UK 1969 Polydor 1st Press
Alternative Cover
If you don't know the story behind this cover and assume that the "Girl" cover is the original then please read ahead.
While Blind Faith were being promoted before the release of their album, there was a lot of outrage due to the 'Girl' cover intended for the LP. Many companies (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 another cover had to be developed quickly. However, many shops in the UK rolled over and stocked the 'Girl' cover anyway - which is of course why the 'Girl cover' is so common today compared to this alternative cover.
The cover that was developed for shops that refused to sell the 'Girl' cover is very different from the standard cover. It is a single sleeve which is fully laminated. It is very probable that this mega rare cover was only stocked for a very short amount of time during the records chart run in a limited number of shops, which is why you really don't see it that often. 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 which in turn created a real rarity.
VINYL: NM
Beautiful and near perfect copy. A deep and strong gloss on both side with almost no signs of previous use. Looks stunning and sounds as good as it looks. Superb audio throughout the entire LP. A real gem and super hard to find in this condition. Pristine!
SLEEVE: VG+/EX
Except for the corner crease/bump on the bottom right corner the sleeve is in great condition with clean covers front and back, straight spine and no rips or seam splits.
LABELS: NM
Clean and bright labels are in pristine condition. Perfect

PAYPAL WORLDWIDE

Sealed items will be shipped sealed unless you request to have them opened and have the vinyl removed to avoid seam splits while in transit.
