Description

BLIND FAITH - CHANGE OF ADDRESS/SALES OFFICE
Very Rare 7" Island Single. Recorded 1969

Description:
This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a copy of an ultra scarce promo instrumental single - ONLY 1 OF 500 IN EXISTENCE - sent by Island records to notify their change of address. Recorded by Blind Faith at Morgan Studios, London in February or March 1969. Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and Ginger Baker all played on this track, but I am not too sure that Rick Grech was present during this jam session. Both sides have the same instrumental recording of this tune.

'Change of Address' side has at the top the pink "island" logo. On the left hand side is the circular black and red and pink logo, and underneath, the text "Cable Address: Ackee W.11 p. 1969". On the right hand side the text "New Telephone No. 01-229-1229". On the bottom of the label are the words 'CHANGE OF ADDRESS FROM JUNE 23rd 1969' and in smaller type "Basing Street, London, W.11. England". In the space between the end of the recording and the label are the words "BASING STREET".

'Sales Office' side has at the top the pink "island" logo. On the left hand side is the circular black and red and pink logo, and underneath, the text "p. 1969". On the right hand side the text "Telephone No. 01-459-6212". On the bottom of the label are the words "SALES OFFICE" and in smaller type "Music House, 12 Neasden Lane, London, N.W.10. England". In the space between the end of the recording and the label are the words "BASING STREET".

Condition:
Label: CHANGE OF ADDRESS side Very Good apart from a few blue pen marks. SALES OFFICE side is in Near Mint codition with virtually no spindle wear.
Vinyl: Very Good+ some very light crackling at the start of each side, 'Change of Address' side a little scuffing, 'Sales Office' just slightly better sound repro but both sides play really well with no scratches and no annoying repeated clicking or jumps. There is no original pink sleeve with this disk, it will be sent to the winning bidder with a replacement sleeve - that is unless I can find one in the meantime.

Postage:
Royal Mail First Class UK - £5.00 Recorded Delivery + extra insurance if necessary
Royal Mail Airmail to Europe - £4.50 + insurance
Royal Mail Airmail to Rest of World - £7.00 + insurance
Royal Mail Surface Mail to Rest of World - £4.00 + insurance (may take up to eight weeks for shipping)

Any questions, please ask - Good Luck and thanks for looking!

PLEASE NOTE: I never knowingly mis-describe an item, if you feel an auction win is not as described or not the quality expected then please email me with your concerns. Both buyers and sellers on ebay have to work on a trust basis, I hope my very positive seller feedback on ebay proves that I fully agree with and support this philosophy.

I accept the following payment methods. Paypal (no surcharge for this service), Personal Cheque payable at a UK bank without incurring charges, or Postal Order. Please note I can only accept cheques in pound sterling due to the high charges levied by UK banks.

Postage & Packaging CHARGES: I post all UK auctions by Royal Mail 1st or by Parcel Force if they are over 1 kilo in weight. Winning bidders from outside the UK may wish to opt for Airmail (quicker) unless you ask for Surface Mail (which can take several weeks but is cheaper). I do not quote for insurance in my Postage & Packing charges but should you require insurance please ask. Whilst I am happy to help out with lost or missing parcels I cannot be held responsible for lost or missing items once I have mailed them. All items are packed with the greatest of care and I always keep Postal receipts as proof of posting. If you have any questions about the above terms then please ask before bidding.
