2013 EU repressing on 180g LP+download-Blind Faith debuted at a free concert before a crowd estimated in excess of 100,000 in London's Hyde Park on June 7, 1969, and its subsequent American tour was marked by an incredible demand for tickets. The album was a triumph as well. But musical expectations and financial success, art and commerce, proved a problematic and incendiary combination which divided fans and the band members as well. With little fanfare, the group disbanded immediately after its first and only U.S. tour.

Tracks:
A1 Had To Cry Today
A2 Can't Find My Way Home
A3 Well All Right
A4 Presence Of The Lord

B1 Sea Of Joy
B2 Do What You Like

Blind Faith may have been the most anticipated new group in rock history. Yet rock's first supergroup - Cream's Eric Clapton, Traffic's Steve Winwood, Cream's drummer Ginger Baker and Family's bassist Rick Grech - was together for just seven months and just one album. That 1969 self-titled album, with six songs, just over 40 minutes long, has become a landmark in rock. Highlighted by the now-classic "Can't Find My Way Home," "Presence Of The Lord," "Sea Of Joy" and "Had To Cry Today," the original album garnered tremendous success, soaring to the top of the charts in the U.S., U.K. and throughout the world.

 Blind Faith's first 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 evident=allmusic
