 Rating:  - Slow hand through the decadesAs I've posted some complaints on Amazon about incompleteness of compilations (missing an artist's best-known track, apparently just to hack people off), I'd like to go the other way on this one. Obviously this compilation is not "complete". That would require not two CDs but, er, an awful lot of CDs. It is a very fair cross-section of Mr C's career from Cream onwards, charting his emergence as a solo artist, the relative blandness of the early 80s, and his return to form from the late 80s onwards. To be more comprehensive, it should include the early era as well, i.e. Yardbirds and Mayall. This doesn't bother me, but the blues fans might object. The Cream tracks are a mite superfluous; if you want Cream material, you ...

I would not have gone and purchased this myself, as within my CD collection I have all of these tracks and could have made up this compilation myself. Having said that it is a good collection (how many Clapton collections have there been over the years?). The two discs represent a reasonable selection of the mans work, although I would have liked some of his early stuff with John Mayall and even The Yardbirds, perhaps Blind Faith, just to round the collection out. I played it in the car and it is a great driving companion, even though I know all the tracks well, thay are great songs and just ... Read More: Rating:  - Elic CraptonAt the best of times I feel strongly about the marketing machines that engineer best-of CD's just before Christmas. However, I feel let down that EC has jumped on the bandwagon too. Eric, we will all still love you even if you don't have it in you to create any good new material. I have all your work up to now, on Vinyl, VHS, CD and DVD and I won't be spending money on this. Shoot me down if you will, but I love EC's work and I love and respect the man. I just think retiring gracefully is cool and he has enough money without needing to release another best-of. Rating:  - A bit of a con, but great musicSO there are a number of tracks not on here, and some that probably shouldn't be, yep we are all in agreement about "behind The Mask" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and I may be wrong, but "Forever Man" doesn't sound like the original to me. There's also no mention of "It's Probably Me", which was vocalised by Sting, I guess but Clapton's clear and definite sound can be appreciated on it. It is very misleading it is about as "complete" as a sandwich missing two pieces of bread. However, there are some magnificent classics brought together, for the first time. Ranging from Cream, Blind Faith (only one track what is that about??) to Derek and The Dominoes and the unplugged sessions. It's good to hear them, but to be blatantly ... Read More: Rating:  - COMPLETE CLAPTONI agree with most of the reviews in that a lot of good music has been left out and some of those which are included are not the best versions in all cases. One or two I have not heard before and are not that good although they may have come from his last dreadful album "Back Home". A complete Clapton cannot be done on 2 disks end of story. When are we to get a new album with new material from Eric. His last album "Back Home" was one of his worst and very self indulgent. I hope that we have not heard the last of Eric and that future new releases will not be compilations of the same sort as this one. |
