Description

Blind Faith, I Can't Find My Way Home b/w In the Presence of the Lord.  No label or catalog number, but this is the 1969 Atco test pressing of a single that was never released on the label--there are no standard promotional copies or stock copies of this, just a handful of these test pressings.  (It eventually saw release on RSO in 1977, and later was issued on the Collectibles label.)  These pressings almost certainly predate the release of the LP, as both titles are slightly different from those that were eventually used on the album (i.e., the word "I" on the A-side and "In the" on the B-side do not appear anywhere else that I'm aware of).  This copy is in VG shape with full original shine, light marks and a few scratches, bit of haziness on the A-side from the original pressing that does not affect play, and a lift that likewise does not affect play at 1.5 grams.  A very rare 45 featuring two of the best songs from one of the most legendary classic rock LPs.

Grading

MINT-  Perfect or virtually perfect.  

VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record

VG  Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise

VG-  Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay

G  Rough record
