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…

HadTo Cry Today…  

Can’t Find My Way Home…  

 

Well All Right…  

  

Presence of the Lord…  

 

  

Sea of Joy…  

Do What You Like…
