DEREK & THE DOMINOS ‘LAYLA’ ORIGINAL (A1+B2 STAMPER CODES IN DEAD WAX) DOUBLE VINYL LP WITH ORIGINAL STICKERED SLEEVE

In the years after Cream disbanded and his collaboration with Steve Winwood in Blind Faith had sunk, Eric Clapton teamed with keyboardist Bobby Whitlock, drummer Jim Gordon, bassist Carl Radle, and guitarist Duane Allman under the name Derek & the Dominos to write and record some new material. The result was this 1970 masterpiece. Shot through with a passion informed by the tumultuous nature of Clapton's own life and career at the time, LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS plays like a primer for classic rock, with incendiary dueling guitars, swirling organ, blues-styled vocals, and punchy bass and drums.

Covers of "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and Hendrix's "Little Wing" are given fresh interpretations, and the originals, most of which Clapton co-wrote with Whitlock, are by turns fierce, melancholic, and celebratory. The epic "Layla", clocking in at seven minutes and featuring blazing solos all around, pushes thealbum to its culmination.

Throughout, Clapton's playing, spurred by Allman's stellar leads, is beautiful enough to induce cardiac arrest, and LAYLA ranks among the most inspired, soulful, and affecting work in his entire discography, clocking in at seven minutes and featuring blazing solos all around, pushes the album to its culmination.
