Eric Clapton
4CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
1LP (Original Album Only): Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
Eric Clapton's eponymous 1970 solo debut arrives in 4CD and 1LP iterations from Polydor/UMe. The 4CD Deluxe Edition presents Eric Clapton in three separate mixes, with one mix on each of the first three CDs in the box: The Tom Dowd Mix, The Eric Clapton Mix, and The Delaney Bramlett Mix. The mix by Dowd (Dusty Springfield, The Allman Brothers Band) was originally released in 1970; the earlier mix by Delaney Bramlett was first issued in full on Polydor/UMe's 2-CD Deluxe Edition in 2006. Clapton's own mix officially premieres in full on this set. (This mix crept out on early pressings of the LP in 1970 before being quickly recalled; his mixes of "After Midnight" and "Let It Rain" then appeared again on the 2018 soundtrack Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars.) The fourth and final CD offers eight additional bonus tracks. All seven of the bonus cuts from the 2006 edition are featured plus a previously unreleased mix of "Comin' Home." The original album only is remastered on vinyl.
