DEREK & THE DOMINOS
In Concert

ORIGINAL UK RSO (2659 020) FIRST PRESSING (March 1973) OF DEREK & THE DOMINOS In Concert
RECORDED OCTOBER 1970 AT THE FILLMORE EAST
A SUPERB LIVE SET FINDING CLAPTON (and the whole band) IN GREAT FORM
LOVELY CONDITION - RECORD ONE PLAYED ONCE, RECORD TWO IS UNPLAYED

2479102 A//2 ? 420 11 2 / 2479102 B//2 ? 420 11 14 (Record Two)
THE TWO RECORDS ARE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT GATEFOLD “Sleeve printed and made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd”
AND THE SET COMES COMPLETE WITH THE TWO ORIGINAL UK POLYDOR COMPANY INNER SLEEVES

Eric Clapton: Guitars, vocals
Carl Radle: Bass guitar
Bobby Whitlock: Piano, Hammond organ, vocals
Jim Gordon: Drums, percussion

In a way, the absence of Duane Allman from this set is a blessing.
Instead of striving fruitlessly to match the high-tension interweave of the studio versions, D&D function as the Eric Clapton Band, rolling easy the way they learned to with Delaney & Bonnie.
Clapton's vocals are rough and winning, and he gets to deliver his warm, clear, rapid runs of notes and slurs, well, how to say it--in concert rather than in competition (with Duane, with Jack and Ginger, with himself).
Even "Bottle of Red Wine" and "Blues Power" make sense on-stage and never sounded better.

SIDE 1:
Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad (9:40)
Got To Get Better In A Little While (14:40)
SIDE 2:
Let It Rain (17:14)
Presence Of The Lord (6:33)
SIDE 3:
Tell The Truth (11:10)
Bottle Of Red Wine (6:50)
SIDE 4:
Roll It Over (6:25)
Blues Power - Have You Ever Loved A Woman (17:30)

LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked labels with just one spindle trace on Record One and none on Record Two
VINYLS Visual: MINT
All four vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen and are unmarked
VINYLS Audio: NEAR MINT/MINT
My play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues whatsoever - the playback is superb - very atmospheric live recording - just one or two impossibly minor isolated tiny clicks on Record One ('Let It Rain'), the rest of the set is flawless
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Clean, sharp gatefold cover with little wear to speak of. There is light mark in the top corner (the remnant of the original owners library number - long gone) but you have to look hard to find it. Otherwise, fine shape with a strong spine where all text is clear and bold

A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
