From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I'll Be Waiting/Blackball" is the name of the first single released by punk band The Offspring. The single is a double A-Side single, featuring "I'll Be Waiting" and "Blackball". Both tracks can be found on The Offsprings self-titled album released two years later - The Offspring. Both songs were re-recorded for the album, so that The Offspring would not just be a 20+ minute mini-album.

[edit] Release
The band itself released "Blackball" on Black Label Records (which the band named after a brand of beer), as a 7" vinyl record. Only 1000 copies of this record were made, 500 with a sleeve and 500 without, and it took the band two and a half years to sell them all. Ironically, this record is now the most expensive piece of The Offspring's work as it is also the rarest.
