The only reason I have this on vinyl is down to my good
friend, Moo. I was searching frantically for this in every record shop in
Manchester until Moo let me have his copy - a very good copy, too - in exchange
for a newly remastered copy of the album on CD.
I can’t remember why I wanted it so much at the time, but it takes pride of place in my collection, alongside Clapton’s other key moonlighting appearances (outside of his solo stuff, Cream and The Yardbirds): the eponymous Blind Faith album, and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek And The Dominoes.
The album is very easy to listen to - similar to early Fleetwood Mac in scope (and general reverence to the blues), and Clapton’s guitar sound is awesome. This marks the first time a Gibson Les Paul had been recorded through an overdriven Marshall amplifier. Smoking!
Hit: All Your Love
