ERIC CLAPTON - AT HIS BEST - Vinyl Record - HHR00542 VG. 

This album is from Eric Clapton the English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most successful and influential guitarists in rock music. After playing in a number of different local bands, Clapton joined the Yardbirds from 1963 to 1965, and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers from 1965 to 1966. After leaving Mayall, he formed the power trio Cream with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic rock. After four successful albums, Cream broke up in November 1968. Clapton then formed the band Blind Faith  and later Derek and the Dominos. Clapton continued to record a number of successful solo albums and songs over the next several decades and in his solo career, has sold more than 280 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time.

Eric Clapton at His Best is a two-LP compilation of his work after he left his earlier band Cream, released in September 1972. It was concurrently released with a two-LP compilation of Cream tracks, Heavy Cream. Although available in other territories as well, Eric Clapton at His Best was largely released to address the North American market, in order for Polydor Records to leverage Clapton's back catalog as, prior to 1972, Polydor had licensed Clapton's recordings to Atco/Atlantic Records for North American distribution. Now out of print, Eric Clapton at His Best was available during the years 1972-76. The album contains songs from Clapton's lone album with his 1969 band Blind Faith, his eponymous 1970 album, and from the lone studio album by Clapton's 1970-71 band Derek and the Dominos, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970).
