ERIC BURDON AND WAR – The Black-Man's Burdon Original 1970 U.S. 1st Pressing | 2-LP Gatefold Set MGM Records / Far Out Productions | Catalog #: SE-4710-2 | Stereo
Collector’s Overview
Offered here is an extraordinarily rare, untouched time-capsule copy of Eric Burdon and War’s monumental 1970 double LP, The Black-Man’s Burdon.
Captured at the absolute creative zenith of their collaboration, this landmark release fuses raw psychedelic blues, deep Afro-Latin percussion, and expansive street funk. It features their legendary, sprawling re-imaginings of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" and The Moody Blues' "Nights In White Satin", alongside heavy funk statements like "They Can’t Take Away Our Music".

Shipping & Returns Policy
Professional Packaging
-
Secure Handling: Your record will be shipped in a dedicated, heavy-duty cardboard mailer (LP or 45 specific) with extra cardboard stiffeners to prevent bending or crushing.
-
Pro-Tip Protection: To prevent seam splits during transit, all opened records are shipped with the vinyl removed from the jacket (housed in its inner sleeve) and placed behind the jacket within a 4mil clear poly outer sleeve. (Note: Factory sealed items are shipped sealed unless the buyer explicitly requests in writing prior to shipment to have the shrink opened and vinyl packed outside the jacket).
-
45s: 7" records are shipped with the same level of care in dedicated 7-inch mailers.
Fast & Tracked Shipping
-
Handling Time: I ship within 1–2 business days of receiving cleared payment.
-
Tracking: A tracking number will be provided immediately upon shipment.
-
Combined Shipping: I am happy to combine shipping. Please wait for a revised invoice before paying to receive the discounted rate.
Returns & Satisfaction
-
The "Collector’s Guarantee": I use strict Goldmine Grading standards. If you feel the record does not match the description or grading, please contact me directly before leaving feedback. I am a collector first and I value your satisfaction.
-
30-Day Returns: I accept returns within 30 days. The item must be returned in the exact same condition it was received.
-
🚨 CONDITION POLICY: For opened records, returns are accepted if the item is returned in the same condition as sent. Any new scratches, sleeve scuffs, or damage to the jacket incurred while in the buyer's possession will void the full refund. For factory sealed records, opening the factory shrink wrap alters the condition and voids full return eligibility.
-
Shipping Costs: Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs unless there was a significant error in the listing.
