BLIND FAITH

Eponymous debut (and only) LP

Exceedingly rare White Label promo DJ copy
in MONO

Not originally mixed or issued in MONO, this is an Atlantic Records radio station pressing in a fold-down mix for broadcast on the quickly disappearing AM music stations.
These Atlantic Mono pressings are  easily the rarest pressings from this era; a copy of Led Zeppelin III sold last year on Ebay for 2400.00 and a Stones Sticky Fingers sold for fairly close to that in a recent auction. All of these titles were issued at roughly the same time and printed in roughly the same numbers.



Cover in VG+ condition -
large promo cut on lower left corner;
minimal wear

DJ copy sticker on front



Vinyl condition:

There are three small marks on Side One, two at the opening of the track (Had To Cry Today) and a thick scratch approximately 3/4" long marking about halfway through the track. These provide a minimal amount of audio noise, the scratch lasting roughly 1 1/2 minutes in length during the first extended guitar solo and into the beginning of the second vocal verse. It's basically a very mild ticking sound that is barely discernible given the dynamics of the pressing and the mono mix. Side 2 has one small mark about 1/3 of the way into the first track (Sea Of Joy), similar to the Side 1 mark just described, slightly more audible due to the softer nature of the music. There is a rather long scuff mark that runs diagonally through track 2 (Do What You Like) that does not affect the audio experience.
The photo should show that the LP retains its full gloss and, outside of the markings described, the surface is clean; it has no other surface scuffs or small scratches.

There is an "M' written in ink on the Side 2 label.

This LP has been given a detailed audio-checking and I grade it as a strong VG,
based on the fact that the markings are primarily visual flaws.
