Derek and the Dominos - Layla and other assorted love songs - Hybrid SACD

The reputation of Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, their lone record, precedes it.

 

Eric Clapton performing in the studio with Duane Allman, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and more for the only time. A batch of fire-pot blues, poignant gospel, and searing rock – all birthed from the leader's insatiable lust for his friend George Harrison's wife. Now, experience it all, and one of the most famous guitar solos and codas in history, in unsurpassed sound courtesy of this quintessential reissue.

 

Mastered from the original master tapes, this hybrid SACD exposes the brilliance of Tom Dowd's original production and the scope of the virtuoso musicians' playing.

 

You've never been closer to the aching vocals, stinging leads, tormented emotions, or wowing intensity that grace every track. Clapton's tones emerge with unprecedented soulfulness. Afforded their own space in the mix, Allman's slide-guitar passages crackle with urgency. All-important sonic components such as soundstaging, imaging, and dynamics transport you to the actual event.
