Derek & The Dominos ORIG OZ 2LP Layla EX ’72 Polydor 2625005 Eric Clapton

Original OZ 2LP released in 1972 on Polydor Records. Cat: 2625005. Comes in gloss gatefold cover.

 Wishing to escape the superstar expectations that sank Blind Faith before it was launched, Eric Clapton retreated with several sidemen from Delaney & Bonnie to record the material that would form Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. From these meager beginnings grew his greatest album. Duane Allman joined the band shortly after recording began, and his spectacular slide guitar pushed Clapton to new heights. Then again, Clapton may have gotten there without him, considering the emotional turmoil he was in during the recording. He was in hopeless, unrequited love with Pattie Boyd, the wife of his best friend, George Harrison, and that pain surges throughout Layla, especially on its epic title track. But what really makes Layla such a powerful record is that Clapton, ignoring the traditions that occasionally painted him into a corner, simply tears through these songs with burning, intense emotion. He makes standards like "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" and "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)" into his own, while his collaborations with Bobby Whitlock including "Any Day" and "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" teem with passion. 

 Tracks : I looked away/ Bell bottom blues/ Keep on growing/ Nobody knows you when your down and out/ I am yours/ Anyway/ Key to the highway/ Tell the truth/ Why does love got to be so sad?/ Have you ever loved a woman/ Little wing/ It’s too late/ Layla/ Thorn tree in the garden.
