Compared to an OG USA pressing, this UK pressing beats it. Sounds wonderful. (Later US pressings are trash and such be avoided).
Thomasdortmund Dec 12, 2023
Sehr gute Blues Rock von der englischen Band Blind Faith .Kann ich echt nur weiter empfehlen.Wäre mir persönlich auch ruhig 60 Euro wert .

Hi All,

My copy has the following Matrix's:

Side A Matrix: 583059 A//1 ▽ 420 1 1 1 3
Side B Matrix: 583059 B//1 ▽ 420 1 1 2 7

It would appear identical with the label flat to the edge but it also shares the same bigger "p" with the alternative: https://www.discogs.com/release/8292071-Blind-Faith-Blind-Faith. Can anyone offer any insight? Maybe a cross over, change in label design?

Thank you!

I always hated the cover. I don't find it sexual it's plain ugly

The absolute very 1st Press LP Sleeves included a plain white sticker with black text label glued to the botton left corner of the inside right side below the lyrics to Sea Of Joy and Do What You Like.The reads: -

Distributed in the U.K. by Polydor Records Ltd., and Island Records Ltd.

The cover image is so revolting! It's a child (she was just 11!!!) being exposed and sexualized. It should be banned forever!

First edition of this LP have a special manufactured sleeve. The outer part, front / rear / inside left, of the foldout is one piece folded. Then the right side of the foldout is printed on a singlecover of which is glued to the right side of the foldout outer. Whether this has that cover is hard to tell from the pictures.

I have a version of Blind Faith Made in Australia and Marketed by PolyGram 583059. Etching on runout is different to all the versions listed here. Side A: 583059 A / EMIDISC DMM Side B: 583059 B That's all there is. Red Polydor Label. Have no Idea where it fits in. Can anyone help with this freak.

Terrible they perpetuate the pedophilic image of the UK release on reissues. Disgusting. What does an 11 year old girl nude holding overtly phallic items have to do with the music? She was 11 years old people. Would you want your daughter on the cover of a commercial recording in this situation? The Canadian / US version is appropriate as it shows a thread of reality to the music.. showing the band. Unless the group was into underage girls .. maybe the first cover was their reality? Should be reviewed on discogs for indecency. Maybe the company they worked for thought they needed some sexual schtick to sell their music.. but that's run it's course and the music supposedly stands up over the time that has passed.. Anyways, This is not a joke.
