Rhino rolls out a series of releases telling an even deeper story of the period that birthed Eric Clapton's classic 1991Gold-certified live set 24 Nights. The Definitive 24 Nights is a three-part box set, spread over six CDs or eight LPs and three Blu-rays, offering mostly unreleased material from those famed London sets at Clapton's longtime home of Royal Albert Hall. Each "set," grouped into three categories - rock, blues and orchestral - is available separately. All audiovisual material has been restored and remixed by producer Simon Climie along with video producer Peter Worsley and director David Barnard. David Fricke has penned new liner notes for the set, included in the box as a hardbound book with an individually numbered lithograph featuring a photo of Clapton by Carl Sudna. The Definiitive 24 Nights provides an alternative look at those concerts: only 12 of the 47 tracks on the collection have been released before. (Note that the original album had 15 tracks, and in fact four of them are not replicated here; one of the previously released cuts was used as a B-side. So hold on to your original copies, completists!)
