ERIC CLAPTON - ERIC CLAPTON - Vinyl record - HHR00725 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 is his debut solo studio album, released in August 1970 by Atco and Polydor Records. The album cover, photographed by Barry Feinstein, depicts Clapton sitting while smoking a cigarette, his Fender Stratocaster Brownie electric guitar leaning between his legs.Clapton recorded some tracks in November 1969 at London’s Olympic Studios and went on to record more songs in 1970 in two sessions; one in January 1970 at the Village Recorders Studio in West Los Angeles and a second session in March the same year at Island Records in London. A large number of musicians that worked with Clapton on the album had been working with the band Delaney and Bonnie, which previously opened the Blind Faith gigs. The musicians included the core of Derek & the Dominos, including co-creator and co-songwriter Bobby Whitlock, who can be heard on "Let It Rain". The song "Let it Rain" had originally been recorded with different lyrics as "She Rides". Three mixes of the album were done, one by Delaney Bramlett, one by Tom Dowd and one by Clapton himself. The 11-track album, Dowd mix was the one used for the original release.
