THE CREAM OF CLAPTON includes songs released
between 1966 and 1981 by Cream, Blind Faith, Derek And
The Dominos and Eric Clapton as a solo performer.
If you only have the funds or shelf space to own one Eric
Clapton album, THE CREAM OF ERIC CLAPTON is the
one to get. Featuring 19 songs that span from Cream's 1966
hit "I Feel Free" to Clapton's 1981 single, "I Can't Stand It,"
this ample collection of career highlights from the legendary
English guitarist is essential classic rock. The album opens
with five tracks by Cream, the psychedelic-blues power trio
that Clapton led in the sixties. The heavy riff-rocker
"Sunshine of Your Love" and "Badge," his 1968 collaboration
with Beatle George Harrison, feature some of his best playing
ever.
Clapton's post-Cream bands, Blind Faith and Derek and the
Dominos (his 1970 supergroup with Duane Allman) are also
represented with such remarkable blues-rock performances
as "Presence of the Lord," Bell Bottom Blues" and the
timeless rock classic, "Layla." The remainder of the album is
devoted to Clapton's seventies solo hits like "After Midnight,"
I Shot The Sheriff," "Cocaine" and "Wonderful Tonight."
Though this collection does not include latter-day Clapton
hits like "Tears in Heaven," it's safe to say that the
spectacular performances on this album are truly THE
CREAM OF ERIC CLAPTON.
Entertainment Weekly
"...These 19 tracks from '66 to '81 cover the high points of his
defining work with Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & the
Dominos, and alone. They also show how far an average
voice, an exorcistic guitar, and blues-on-acid rock can take
you..." - Rating: Ao

Notes:
Reportedly a soundboard taken from Japanese tv, but this is an audience recording and not a soundboard as previously indicated here. This is not the Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute show recorded on 11/05/95. Note that Texas Flood starts suddenly and Six Strings Down is the "jam" that is listed on the cover. The sound quality is reportedly better on "The Day After The Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute" (R.B.)
