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.

Description

50th Anniversary Edition re-release of the debut full-length solo album by legendary British Blues Rock guitarist and singer.
After being in several successful Кock bands including The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream and Blind Faith, Clapton recorded an album under his own name in late 1969 and early 1970. Clapton's eponymous solo debut was recorded after he completed a tour with Delaney & Bonnie. Eric used the core of the duo's backing band and co-wrote the majority of the songs with Delaney Bramlett accordingly.
"Eric Clapton" sounds more laid-back and straightforward than any of the guitarist's previous recordings. There are still elements of Blues and Rock & Roll, but they're hidden beneath layers of Gospel, R&B, Country, and Pop flourishes. And the Pop element of the record is the strongest of the album's many elements. "Blues Power" isn't a Blues song and only "Let It Rain," the album's closer, features extended solos. Throughout the album, Clapton turns out concise solos that de-emphasize his status as guitar god, even when they display astonishing musicality and technique.
Since then, he's released nearly two dozen LPs under his name. And it's been kind of a roller-coaster ride for the guitar hero, with personal and professional setbacks often inspiring his work – from a crippling drug addiction (which kept him out of the spotlight for several years) to the death of his young son (which spurred a huge comeback hit).
Through it all, though, he's rarely lost the focus and drive that made him one of the most buzzed-about musicians in the '60s. While recent records may not be fuelled by the creative hunger that fed his best work, he's grown into his older years by playing the music that sounds right for him at this stage. If nothing else, Clapton has aged more gracefully than most contemporaries.

Description

The twentieth full-length solo studio album by legendary British Blues Rock guitarist and singer.
The album is a combination of new material written by Clapton and classic songs, contemporary tunes, and influences interpreted in his own style.
Reuniting with producer Glyn Johns, the steady hand who guided "Slowhand" back in 1977, doesn't provide Eric Clapton with much of a jolt for this album, but it does provide the veteran guitarist with no small degree of nicely weathered warmth. Such mellowed good vibes are the calling card of "I Still Do", which otherwise proceeds along the same path Clapton's records follow in the 21st century: he blends covers of well-worn Blues standards with a couple of J.J. Cale tunes, a few old Pop standards, a Bob Dylan chestnut, and original songs that draw upon aspects of all of these.
"Spiral" and "Catch the Blues", the two EC originals that anchor the middle of the album, are handsomely crafted tunes that complement the rest of the record; they don't draw attention to themselves but rather show how hard "Cypress Grove" swings and how "Alabama Woman Blues" crawls, and reveal the lightness of "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" and "Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day".
Although "I'll Be Seeing You" ends with "I Still Do" on a bit of a wistful note, this album is neither melancholy nor some kind of summation. It is simply Clapton being Clapton, enjoying the company of his longtime band and songs he's loved, and here he's fortunate enough to be produced by Johns, whose expert touch gives this weight and colour absent from the otherwise amiable "Old Sock". That's enough to give "I Still Do" some resonance, because Johns focuses not on the songs but the interplay: it's not a vibe record so much as it's an album about the interplay of old pros, who still get a kick playing those same old changes years after they've become second nature.

Description

The twenty-first full-length solo studio album by legendary British Blues Rock guitarist and singer.
"Happy Xmas" is the first Christmas album by Eric Clapton, which includes 13 covers of Christmas-themed songs, both well-known and relatively obscure ones, arranged in a predominant Blues style, along with one new original song "For Love On Christmas Day" by Clapton and producer Simon Climie.
Eric Clapton's first Christmas record in a career that's spanned over four and a half decades, certainly bears its share of seasonal charm, but it's also of a piece with the warm, amiable music he's made in the 2010s. Like "Old Sock" and "I Still Do" before it, "Happy Xmas" relies on songs from other songwriters and cooks to a cosy groove that's grounded in the Blues but also encompasses Soul, Reggae, Rock, and a bit of Vaudeville shuffle ("Xmas in My Hometown"). This homey atmosphere is certainly suited for the season, even if it rarely sounds like a typical holiday record. Chalk that up to Clapton studiously avoiding a reliance on shopworn carols. When he does play an overly familiar tune, he switches it up: he opens up the affair with a Blues rendition of "White Christmas", "Silent Night" is given a Reggae bounce, "Away in a Manger" has a soulful underpinning, and he turns "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" into a seduction. These clever interpretations are nestled alongside nice holiday chestnuts, turning this into a comforting Christmas listen, so comforting that it makes the presence of "Jingle Bells (In Memory of Avicii)" more bizarre. Situated in the middle of the album, "Jingle Bells (In Memory of Avicii)" is a lite-EDM tribute to the late DJ and producer, a track that is perhaps more dexterous than Clapton's '90s electronica experiment T.D.F.
Proceeds go directly to Van Morrison’s charity for out-of-work musicians, called “The Van Morrison Rhythm and Blues Foundation”.
"Happy Xmas" will deliver cheery Christmas vibes to everybody!
