Eric Clapton's eponymous solo debut was recorded after he completed a tour with Delaney & Bonnie.
Clapton used the core of the duo's backing band and co-wrote the majority of the songs with Delaney Bramlett — accordingly, Eric Clapton sounds more laid-back and straightforward than any of the guitarist's previous recordings.
There are still elements of blues and rock & roll, but they're hidden beneath layers of gospel, R&B, country, and pop flourishes.
Throughout the album, Clapton turns out concise solos that de-emphasise his status as guitar god, even when they display astonishing musicality and technique
Side 1: Slunky / Bad Boy / Lonesome And A Long Way From Home / After Midnight / Easy Now / Blues Power
Side 2: Bottle Of Red Wine / Lovin’ You Lovin’ Me / Told You For The Last Time / Don’t Know Why / Let it Rain

Clean, unmarked labels with less than a handful of light spindle traces

This copy has seen little use and my play-check at volume found nothing to fault - plays beautifully throughout

The fully laminated cover is also beautifully preserved with a deep glass-like gloss to both the front and back surfaces and no wear to speak of on either the edges or spine
