Rare find;quality US pressing double LP for true analogue sound. Eric Clapton's original Polydor Records 1970 issue;produced, arranged, composed and performed by The Dominos Track list includes hits like Layla, Bell Bottom Blues and have You Ever Loved a Woman. This is a true classic double set and every song is a gem. Studying the photographs inside the fold-out sleeve makes you question how these guys could make such a great record. Excess was obviously the order of the day, yet excel is what they did. Everyone will know ‘Layla’, still one of Clapton’s best-loved rock anthems, but here is the chance to strike a chord for Duane Allman’s consistently brilliant guitar, especially on lost gems such as ‘Anyday’ and ‘Key to the Highway’. The title song, with one of the most famous intros and riffs ever recorded, is a pure rock classic, but it does not end there. There are long songs and short songs, some gentle, some more rocky with stunning Clapton and Duane Allman guitar-work. A magnificent longer version of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Little Wing’ is also included which has long been a favourite of mine, and actually I think the best on the whole album. Post-Cream Clapton rarely sounded better, this an indispensable double set.
