Exactly. The cover of the debut album for a group you almost have to be a rock music nerd to have heard anything about: Blind Faith.

I reckon it should be a very sought after memorabilia amongst rock music pedophiles audiophiles...  ;D ;D ;D

You have to be blind or have incredible faith to love that picture. Thus the cover is appropriate.

... which is amazing for a band made up of two-thirds of Cream (Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker) and Steve Windwood.

A rock music nerd...or, simply of a certain age  ;)  Actually, Blind Faith was HUGE in its brief life (about a year in existence, 1968-69). Their only album went to Number 1 in both the UK and US; sold over half a million copies in its first month. But the egos involved couldn't sustain the band.

I also remember Blind Faith as being huge.  However, I asked my wife if she remembered the group; she said no though we were living together  even back then.  So Karl might be correct on this one.

FWIW (just one chap's perspective), I don't think I should have known of them, if I hadn't read of them in (something much like) The Rolling Stone Guide to Rock Music & Musicians back in the late '70s . . . .

(The big upside from that book, whatever its actual title and provenance, is that reading the respective articles on King Crimson and the Bonzo Dog Band revolutionized my listening experience.)

Believe my they were BIG. They included Rich Gretch from one of my favorite bands at the time, Family. Why don't anyone mention him?

I did...in the non-classical listening thread.
