September 20, 1969:  
Blind Faith's self-titled album hits #1
 on both the US and UK charts, 
selling more than half a million copies in the first month of its release…
 


 NOTE: The release of the album provoked controversy because the cover featured a topless pubescent girl, holding in her hands a hood ornament from a 1956 Chevrolet, which some perceived 
as phallic. 

The U.S. record company issued it with
 an alternative cover
 (which showed a photograph of 
the band on the front) as well as the 
original cover…
