Description
• BLIND FAITH s/t LP (Atco Records - SD 33-304)
• Original U.S. Stereo Promo Pressing LP
• Etched matrix numbers in the deadwax area of each side.
• Original white ATCO Records promo label (see pics)
• I GRADE THE VINYL VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++). Some superficial abrasions (mainly sleeve marks) ARE VISIBLE, but do not compromise the overall condition of the vinyl, and are not too visually distracting. For the most part, the vinyl looks like it was cared for but enjoyed. No marks are more than the 1" (inch) on average. The original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles.
• (The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!)
• The cover is in VERY GOOD PLUS (VG++) condition. Original cardboard cover (American style). Minor shelf ware is slightly visible upon close inspection but DOES NOT compromise the overall integrity of the cover. One corner is slightly bumped and one is stained (see pics). There is a "promotional" sticker on front (see pic). The spine is in very good condition.
• The graphics and extremely sharp and vivid.
• DO NOT let this opportunity pass you by.
• and last album, more than 30 years old and counting, remains one of the jewels of the Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, and Ginger Baker catalogs, despite the crash-and-burn history of the band itself, which scarcely lasted six months. As much a follow-up to Traffic's self-titled second album as it is to Cream's final output, it merges the soulful blues of the former with the heavy riffing and outsized song lengths of the latter for a very compelling sound unique to this band. Not all of it works -- between the virtuoso electric blues of "Had to Cry Today," the acoustic-textured "Can't Find My Way Home," the soaring "Presence of the Lord" (Eric Clapton's one contribution here as a songwriter, and the first great song he ever authored) and "Sea of Joy," the band doesn't do much with the Buddy Holly song "Well All Right"; and Ginger Baker's "Do What You Like" was a little weak to take up 15 minutes of space on an LP that might have been better used for a shorter drum solo and more songs. Unfortunately, the group was never that together as a band and evidently had just the 42 minutes of new music here ready to tour behind.
