Foiled once again by Jonesy!

461 and Neil Young’s Decade were key albums during college. Epic day at the House Of Records…

Ahh those trips to the House of Records. If I’m not mistaken you brought home Decade that day, so it was a pretty successful day all around.

When I listen to this album I always imagine Clapton alone on a beach with his guitar. The music coming from my speakers is the finished mix that Clapton hears in his head as he sings quietly to himself.

Thanks for the memory Dan.

By the way I paid $1.95 for my copy. Ha!

This is better appreciated on vinyl in my opinion. The songs are perfectly grouped for an album-side listen.

Great album.

And if memory serves me right, I believe the I Shot The Sheriff was recorded in 1 take and after Clapton had only just listened to the song a few times.

Going on my t-table right now.

It’s true: Clapton is God.

a common comment among all responses to your zappa post was “i guess i don’t get it.”

eric clapton is one of those artists for me, and albums like this are why. this album puts me to sleep faster than the final round of the British Open.

can somebody clue me in?
