Blind Faith
'S/T'
Polydor, UK, 1969
583 059
NOTE: I've tried to list this album in the past but eBay pulled the listing on the basis that it was violating their rules - ie the front cover features a shot of a young naked girl. I'm trying to work around this by photographing the album sleeve with the offending parts blocked out. Please be assured that the cover is in terrific shape in the condition stated below.
FABULOUS CREAM/TRAFFIC/FAMILY spin-off supergroup featuring Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Rick Grech and Steve Winwood. Although they were doomed to failure, as all supergroups are, the vibe here is incredibly powerful showcasing the entire bands musical ability perfectly. From full-on rock tracks with Clapton cooking up a head of steam like 'Had To Cry Today' and 'Well All Right' (the closest they got to the commercial side of Cream) to the more gentile side of their nature with 'Presence Of The Lord' and, of course, 'Can't Find My Way Home' the album feels and sounds like a cohesive work. 'Do What You Like', which takes up most of side two, is a Ginger Baker composition providing him with a platform to solo and, indeed, for the others to stretch out also.
Produced by Jimmy Miller.
Tough to find on the original Polydor label in the original unipak gatefold cover - most turn up as the later RSO repress.
This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
Pressing: Polydor, UK, 1969
Vinyl: Nice clean condition. Some visible spindle marks and light signs of use. Tiny name written on the label. Grades as a nice Ex
Cover: Only minor signs of use. Issued in the original beautifully illustrated gatefold cover. Sharp corners (1 edge creased - I dropped it as I was grading it!) - one ding, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and one edge crease. Spine is straight, totally readable but a little flat. Tiny name written on the inside cover and a 2.5 inch strip of clear tape residue. Beautiful and impossible to find like this 43 years after release. Grades as a nice clean Ex.
Inserts: None

Side One: 583059 A//1
