Eric Clapton – History Of Eric Clapton (2×Vinyl LP, ATCO Records SD 2-803, Reissue, Presswell Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
History Of Eric Clapton traces Clapton’s work through The Yardbirds, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, Derek & The Dominos, and his early solo career. The two-record compilation includes “Sunshine Of Your Love,” “Crossroads,” “Badge,” and “Layla,” along with the previously unreleased “Tell The Truth - Jam.” Its selections document several major stages of Clapton’s 1960s and early-1970s recording career.
