ERIC CLAPTON
The first re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by legendary British Blues Rock guitarist and singer.
It is Clapton's first collaborative project with Phil Collins, who co-produced the album and played on some tracks. While recording the album, Clapton temporarily split with his wife, Boyd. Clapton assuaged his pain by writing the song "Behind the Sun", featuring only his guitar and vocals along with Phil Collins' synthesizer, as the final song on the album.
Although he is universally considered among the most important figures in Rock & Roll, Eric Clapton has not had consistent success in translating his stature into record sales, partially because he is, in essence, a great Blues guitarist rather than a great Pop/Rock singer/songwriter. Clapton's career was in decline in the early '80s when he switched record labels from Polydor to Warner Bros., and his "Money And Cigarettes" new label debut became his first to fall below Gold record status in more than six years. As a result, Warner looked critically at his follow-up, the Phil Collins-produced "Behind The Sun", in the fall of 1984 and rejected the first version submitted, insisting that he record several new songs written by Jerry Williams, backed by Los Angeles session players under the auspices of company producers Lenny Waronker and Ted Templeman. Warner then emphasized the new tracks, releasing two of them, "Forever Man" (which reached the Top 40) and "See What Love Can Do," as Singles. Despite the tinkering, "Behind The Sun" was not among Clapton's best, although it went Gold after nearly two years in release.
After nearly a decade of Clapton's guitar playing taking a backseat to his singing/songwriting, this album contains several guitar solos. The album includes synthesizers and drum machines played by Phil Collins, Ted Templeman, Peter Robinson, Michael Omartian, James Newton Howard, Chris Stainton and Greg Phillinganes, as well as Clapton's Roland guitar synthesizer on "Never Make You Cry". Bassists Donald "Duck" Dunn from Booker T. & the MG's and Nathan East (later of the Smooth Jazz quartet Fourplay) also played on the album.
The Behind The Sun Tour was featured at the first Live Aid concert in 1985 where "She's Waiting" was performed along with "White Room" and "Layla". The video for "Forever Man" became an MTV favourite, featuring an accident where one of the cameras falls off the dolly.
Remastered from the original analog master tapes, double 180g vinyl in gatefold cover.
1985/2018 (47735-1). Made in the EU. Pressed in Germany.
