Eric Clapton (1970)

Eric Clapton - Debut Album , Polydor Muisc, 1970  (Deluxe Edition)

  Here is another great example of where the wrong mix got pressed and issued to public (aka Klaatu's HOPE) and now you have the choice of the two versions in this Deluxe Edition.   CD one is devoted to what i think most of us likely owned on vinyl ....the Tom Dowd mix while CD 2 showcases a very different mixed version by Delaney Bramlett.  Each version sound nice and warm and have been well remastered and offer a very different view of this great firs solo album from Eric Clapton.  The bonus tracks are excellent as well with an 11 min version of "Blues In A" and the psychy "Teasin'".

Only James Unger would reference Klaatu in reviewing Eric Clapton recordings! Smart hook man! Made me stop and think about these recordings.
