Paul McCartney:
We're opening BeatleDave's Sir Paul Archive! Here's the best quality at bargain prices:
1) EBONY & IVORY/RAINCLOUDS (Columbia 02860 1st pressing with PICTURE SLEEVE, 1982); and
2) EBONY AND IVORY/RAINCLOUDS (Columbia 02860 1st pressing, revised title with PICTURE SLEEVE, 1982): Both 45s are clean M-; the picture sleeves are clean VG+.
Paul McCartney ended his 2-year exile from the charts (after being arrested for pot in Japan) with the thundering success of this collaboration with Stevie Wonder: Ebony & Ivory was #1 for an impressive 7 weeks in 1982 (Paul only surpassed its 7 weeks at the top with the 9 weeks that his Beatles song Hey Jude was #1 in 1968).
The single was originally issued as Ebony & Ivory, but for some reason it was decided to replace the "&" with the word "and". The single's massive success insured that the later title Ebony And Ivory is relatively common; but the original issue with "&" in the title is scarce. We estimate the later "and" labels outnumber the "&" version at least 10 to 1.
Here's both versions in M-, with picture sleeves for each...
One pair only...don't miss 'em!
