2005 collection from one of the greatest guitar players in Rock 'N' Roll, featuring tracks taken from his various albums recorded for Universal (Polydor, RSO, etc). THE UNIVERSAL MASTERS COLLECTION: Classic ERIC CLAPTON features his greatest recordings and biggest Hits of the '70s, from 'Layla' and 'I Shot The Sheriff' to 'Lay Down Sally'. With 16 Grammys to his credit and the only three-time inductee into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (as a member of Cream, the Yardbirds, and as a solo artist), Eric Clapton is one of the most admired and honored guitarists of the rock generation. Following the release of his new blues album (ME AND MR. JOHNSON, Reprise/Duck) and with a new studio CD anticipated next year, Classic ERIC CLAPTON edition of THE UNIVERSAL MASTERS COLLECTION (Polydor/UMe), to be released May 16, 2005, revisits the first decade of his solo career (including the short-lived Derek And The Dominos) featuring 11 digitally remastered classics from 1970-1978. Clapton's self-titled 1970 solo debut embraced an organic rock / country / R&B / gospel rootsy vibe that grew out of his touring with Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. In fact, Delaney And Bonnie (Bramlett) And Friends such as Rita Coolidge and Leon Russell formed the band for his album. Classic ERIC CLAPTON includes its Top 20 pop cover of J.J. Cale's "After Midnight" as well as the Clapton-Bramlett-penned "Let It Rain," which guested Stephen Stills. Clapton then formed Derek And The Dominos with D&B alums Bobby Whitlock (organ), Carl Radle (bass) and Jim Gordon (drums). Led by one of the all-time great rock songs, the epic seven-minute "Layla" (which hit #10 pop and featured Duane Allman on guitar), the quartet's lone studio LP, LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS, was released in late 1970. The Top 20 album also boasted "Bell Bottom Blues." In 1974, after years of personal crisis and musical inactivity, Clapton returned to his solo career with 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD. His reading of Bob Marley's outlaw anthem "I Shot The Sheriff," which served as many American listeners' first exposure to reggae, soared to #1 and went Gold. Culled from that #1 pop album too is the gentle ballad "Let It Grow." His 1975 non-LP cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is also heard on Classic ERIC CLAPTON. His next Top 10 album, 1977's SLOWHAND (#2), spawned the tender "Wonderful Tonight" (#16), country-flavored "Lay Down Sally" (#3 and Gold) and fiery cover of Cale's cautionary "Cocaine" (#30). The 1978 follow-up, BACKLESS (#8), spotlighted the Top 10 ballad "Promises." Today, 40 years after his recording debut (with the Yardbirds), Clapton is reaping the rewards that come with being one of rock's most esteemed artists. The series THE UNIVERSAL MASTERS COLLECTION, featuring new "best of" albums from the most significant music artists of the past century, is the most successful single artist series in music history.
