| I bought it last night. I sold all my vinyl years ago, so am
simply replacing my favorite albums. The two additional songs
are indeed slime. In the future, I'll just program them out.
But the real tracks are as good as I remembered them to be.

| Thanks to Mike Lyons, who loaned me his copy...
The two extra tracks are:
"Exchange and Mart" a bluesy instrumental with Rick Grech's violin
in there with Clapton
"Spending All My Days" a country-ish number sung by Rick Grech
The liner notes claim the recordings date from November 1969, which
means they are indeed from an attempt to follow up the LP (which
was released in July or August of the same year). The credits claim
four-way songwriting, but I think that the latter tune is probably
a Grech original (he later wrote some country tunes for Gram Parsons).
Both are rather rough sounding suggesting that they are more demos
than finished product. I find it hard to believe that this could
have been all that was accomplished towards the second LP! Although
if this is any indication it's just as well they called it quits.
The CD as a whole has not been remastered and as such I thought
that the bass was mushy and the highs weak....kind of disappointed
particularly on "Can't Find My Way Home" where there is such detail
present already.......
The lack of liner notes and the simply passable sound makes this
a good example of record companies reissuing rather haphazardly.

I've noticed that recent copies of "Blind Faith" do *not* have the
two extra tracks.
It doesn't say that it was remixed, so I don't know if the sound
of this version is any better than the older one.

The new Guitar Player has a Clapton article and says the original
CD issue of Blind Faith was *not* from master tapes, and that Polygram
has been remastering *all* of the Clapton stuff....so the new CD
may have noticably better sound. However, the article says, as
I had noted in the last reply, that the two other tracks were removed.
They think the tracks were intended for a Rick Grech solo album
(never completed) and that George Harrison (!!!!) and Dave Mason
play on those tracks as well.
