I had already moved to Europe and was preparing to drive to India when the first big rock supergroup, Blind Faith, put out their eponymous debut-- and only-- album. I promptly bought an 8-track cassette and headed off to India in my VW van. Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and Ric Grech were like my companions all through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal for 1969-72. I heard rumors that there was a controversy about the album cover in America and, indeed, they refused to release it. The controversy didn't prevent the album from going to #1. This clip of "Can't Find My Way Home" starts with it.
