I own all the Cream LP's in mint condition, if anyone wants to hear them at the shop when I finally make it back up there. You can hear tape hiss and edits on Disraeli Gears. It's amazing.

I've also got a mint copy of Blind Faith with the album cover that was yanked after day one, if anyone's interested in hearing it.

I have an excellent copy of the Layla LP as well, same rules apply. Ask and I'll bring it. Their cover of Little Wing is magical. Also, "Keys to the Highway" was a total improv jam session. Notice how it starts out rolling. The engineers came into the studio and noticed Clapton and Allman going at it, the producer screamed "Hit the f**king switch!"

Clapton's solo stuff, naw. Just naw.

anything produced by Sheffield Lab, however. The majority of their productions were classical and Jazz, but besides having the dedication and technical ability to produce exquisite sounding recordings, they also had an ear for V good music

Sorry to here that, I will stay away from it.
Should you come across any of the Harry James Band on Sheffield you may be pleasantly surprised.
I will let you all get back to Eric, now.
Pardon the diversion.

I'm the one who dragged you off topic.   Any apologies should be mine.
