                                                CONDITION  ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)

COVER:                    NrMT

Comments:                Extremely clean “glossy” English gatefold cover “Girl holding Airplane version” (U.S. releases were Not gatefold). The cover displays bright and vibrant colors with virtually No ring wear, No marks or writing, No stains or creases, No seam splits, No cut out marks, and No discount holes or bar codes. Ever so slight, barely noticeable corner wear is the only minor flaw and mentioned for accuracy. Please note: eBay will not allow a photograph of the front side of the cover, but I can assure you it is immaculate.

VINYL:                      NrMT-

Comments:                Full original gloss vinyl with a few minor rubs and insignificant faint hairlines (No scratches) from sliding in and out of the inner sleeve. The vinyl plays beautifully throughout the recording.

                                    Classic “First” and only BLIND FAITH LP features Eric Clapton (Cream), Steve Winwood (Traffic), Rick Grech, and Ginger Baker (Cream). Extremely clean UK pressing copies of this obscure album are extremely difficult to locate in any condition. LP features several Steve Winwood penned tunes including “Had To Cry Today”, “Can’t Find My Way Home”, “Sea of Joy”, and one very memorable Eric Clapton composition “Presence of The Lord”.
