This is a very rare white label DJ promo copy of Eric Clapton's 1973 self-titled compilation album on Polydor Records. Now long out of print, it includes tracks from his 1970 solo debut and 1971's "Derek & The Dominos" which had been previously released on Atco Records in North America. Special guests include Duane Allman, Leon Russell, and Stephen Stills.

This copy (PD 5526) is from the first pressing and is in excellent condition. It still has its original factory shrink wrap to project the cover which is easily VG+. Please note that half of the back cover has a radio DJ promo sticker over Clapton's picture. No effort has been made to remove it. I've included a picture from another copy that shows what it would look like without the sticker. The record plays cleanly and I rate it VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl.

In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.

Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.

This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 47 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
