THE TWO RECORDS ARE HOUSED IN AN OUTER LAMINATED (AND DEEPLY GLOSSY) GATEFOLD SLEEVE
MADE IN GERMANY - BUT FOR THE UK MARKET - WITH A UK "RE-ORDER" STICKER ON THE BACK
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)

LABELS: MINT
Clean, factory-fresh and unmarked with no spindle traces or signs of use
VINYLS Visual: MINT
All four vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen and are completely unmarked
VINYLS Audio: MINT
My one careful play-check at loud volume revealed no audio issues whatsoever - the playback is superb and totally flawless throughout
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The German printed gatefold has a deep, glass-like glossy sheen to the outer laminated surfaces (with just a little ring record impression) and clean, unmarked inner surfaces.
The edges and spine show no real wear to speak of and all spine text is clear and bold
