Eric Clapton covers Robert Johnson

Just paid $29 for this. It really sounds terrible. The high end is awful. I don't recommed it.

BTW, I just ordered a stack of 140 grams from Mosaic's website (actually it's Trueblue.com, which is linked to Mosaic, which is itself linked to the Blue Note site). ANYWAY, these pressings are usually $10.95, which I think is a heckuva deal for some brand-new vinyl. We'll see how it goes.

Been there four times, never found it humid. Maybe you're thinking of the Caribbean. I also never cared for ECs work after Derek and the Dominos. Sonewhat passionless and mundane compared to Cream.

This tendency has the effect, at least for me, of homogenizing what should be a gritty experience. The devils music, down at the crossroads, meets champagne bubbly music out dere in Nort Dakota! I agree with Tomryan above, Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos. It's been a search since then.
