Eric Clapton Slowhand (35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
Release Date: December 18, 2012
Label: Polydor/UMe
Slowhand was recorded at Olympic Studios in South West London in May 1977 and was produced by Glyn Johns. Released in November 1977, it was the most successful album of Clapton's 70s studio recordings. Slowhand features Classic Rock standards, 'Wonderful Tonight,' 'Lay Down Sally' and 'Cocaine.' It includes cover versions of songs written by some of his favorite songwriters (JJ Cale, John Martyn, Don Williams, Arthur Crudup) and original compositions by Clapton.
Both the Super Deluxe Edition and Deluxe Edition feature four Slowhand session outtakes (three of them previously unreleased) 'Looking At The Rain,' 'Alberta,' 'Greyhound Bus' and 'Stars, Strays And Ashtrays.' And plenty more!
