Old & In the Way -1975. They had a reunion album in the 90's but really this is the only album:

Old & in the Way was a one-shot bluegrass band whose legacy lasted far longer than the band. Led by Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia (banjo, vocals), the band also featured David Grisman (mandolin, vocals), Vassar Clements (fiddle), Peter Rowan (guitar, vocals), and John Kahn (bass). Garcia formed the band in 1973 as a way to revisit his bluegrass roots and demonstrate his affection for the music.

Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley by Brave New World (1972). An unusual album of mostly instrumental space-rock. This band of German/Irish/British musicians should have been big, but instead they vanished. IORAH has become a highly-rated cult album in the intervening forty years.

I think this is the only one they did and it got shelved but you can get it now ... very sad story to this band, their van hit a petrol tanker in 1976 and that was that.

I don't know the full story word for word but it is noted that the band became massive very quick and very soon after Cream had broken up. Clapton for one felt trapped and when they returned from touring abroad the band broke up and went their seperate ways leaving Clapton to work with Delaney and Bonnie.

Something like that anyways it was a pearler of an album:)

This article on Ric Grech on Wikipedia explains what happened with Blind Faith, in a nutshell the Blind Faith album wasn't well received by the critics and when they went out on tour to support the album in the US, Clapton wasn't happy with the quality of the music and called it quits.

I haven't listened to the Blind Faith album in a while, though I thought it was alright! :) Maybe it's a little ahead of it's time, I don't know cause albums were moving in that direction in '69 and people were looking for longer songs.

NYMPHS.....An alternative band with glam/punk influences featuring the vocal talents of Inger Lorre .Made one album for Geffen in 1991.
Somehow it never happened for this band, which was a mystery.... split 1992. They had a "rebellious attitude" reputation which might of gone against them......legend Iggy Pop did backing vocals on "supersonic":grinthumb. The album is a gem
