Excellent compilation
Some choice Cream tracks, Derek and the Dominos, early solo work. This is a very good compilation of Clapton's music, which includes very little of the later more middle of the road output, much of which is just not up to the standard of the early work. This US version also has a Blind Faith track - Presence of the Lord, that is not on the British release. Highly recommended as a good overview of classic Clapton. Buy John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton as well, to get an insight into why Clapton was so revered over 30 years ago.


Must have.
Buy a copy for everyone in your family and teach them what real music is. $10 for this CD is a steal.


Where is LAY DOWN SALLY......WHERE ?????WHERE???
Really , someone tell the RECORD LABEL or CLAPTON. . . "to add this song at the bottom of this track list in a remaster or re-print". Man !! This is like BABE RUTH without a baseball-bat. YEP !! Clapton left off his HOME-RUN ( the song ), off this album. That just doesn't score very many points. ONLY 4 STARS.


The cream of the cream!


Since the first time one listens (at least this was my case) one participates with him, because his music involves, delights and hovers the hall of your home. To talk about Eric Clapton is like to refer us to one of these untiring and innovative musicians, who are like true hunters in what concerns to fertile creativeness, rhythmic sense and portentous expressiveness. In Clapton, the guitar proudly exhibits, one of its most genuine performers. He has gained ground every time he decides to release an album, because one realizes that behind every single theme, there` s a visible sense of communicate experiences and livings. He has achieved this hard pinnacle due its absolute and total conviction about he is doing. Moreover, there` s a febrile passion that always has stamped his presence, and you may verify since those the times of "Cream" until his most recent album. His collaboration with every musical partner, nourished and inspired one to another, and this was a decisive step throughout his consolidation as music and composer. Steve Winwood, with Blind faith, John Mayall, B. B. King as well as his continuous worriment to be aware with the sound of every generation he has lived has gained him an enviable honour place among the cream of the Blues and Rock music, because he has never denied he before nothing is a blues performer. His well self-styled artistry and inimitable identity are the essential factors who have allowed him to be far beyond we are used to listen here and there, a renowned and fashionable artist. His creative genius has become him a crack-jack artist.

So after all these considerations without regarding your ages, you should acquire this album, because it's part of a transcendental and golden chapter of the R&B music.

the name says it all
it spans his career from 67-81 his best years in my opinon (being to weak before and too soft after)and this includes all his best known tracks from cream,blind faith,the dominoes and his solo career, and they are great tracks all. indeed the name says it all,if your only going to buy one clapton cd this is it. so for any clapton or classic rock fan this is an essential.
