    I've still got my "British Copy",, which at the time was pretty cool,for lack of a better word,, we could not keep them in stock though,, as soon as we got em',they would sell."Can't find my way Home" is still one of my favorites.

    Pretty sure I BMG'd my copy in 1971 or so... so the sanitized, substitute album cover resides here.



    One of the very few "Supergroups" that I thought worked. Personally "Do What You Like" was my fav track.

    For the longest time I could not figure out how Ginger could do that fast of a bass drum roll...
    Then DOH!
    I finally saw his twin bass kit...
    More later,
    Tour...

    It may have been groundbreaking at the time, but I don't feel it has aged well at all. It's not "there" with Hendrix or Cream.

    Winwood disappeared for god knows how long, and re-surfaced with Top 40. Clapton, well...
    Ginger Baker was relatively quiet, with Air Force and Baker-Gurvitz. Then I think he really hit his stride mid-90's with The Ginger Baker Trio, especially that first album.

    Have you seen the Swedish film "My Life AS A Dog", it shows regularly on Comcast and it displays a young girl's breasts several times. I have no idea how it doesn't get cut for the US market. It is actually a very sweet and touching story and not "dirty" in any sense.

    I was fortunate to catch Blind faith on their only North American tour in 1969.
    The openers were Taste with Rory Gallagher and Delaney and Bonnie.
    What a great show!!!!
    I believe it was late July.
    When we were leaving, there were people outside the stadium handing out flyers advertising a little festival called Woodstock which took place a month later.
