Magic Marmalade 1st Aug 2022		Review Half... and half again. I finally got round to listening to this in it's entirety, having found a copy the other week, and I've got to say I am not overly impressed. As previously mentioned below, the original tracks are the best, the others are just self indulgent blues work-outs, the kind that only Eric Clapton enjoys for his own pleasure... mostly tedious. So immediately, you can cut this album into two separate albums, leaving, after having left the blues stuff for the "Clapton = God" die-hards, the bones of a much better album... a tighter, and more focused single disc album... ...But even that could do with some culling, as those songs too, are a little over-long, with lots of unnecessary repetition to eek them out. Occasionally, it's justified, what with having Allman on board, he seems to challenge Clapton and bring the best out of him, but mostly, the songs are twice the length they need to be. Paired down in this way (and maybe with the addition of a couple of other songs of this quality), I feel this could have been the basis of a great album, fully deserving of the esteem it seems to garner, instead of an unnecessary double album, which sounds more like an epic whinge... like that bloke we've all met who thinks he's the only person in the world to have had his heart broken, and after your initial sympathy, his incessant moaning begins to wear thin. But as for the pressing, well, it's a Polydor Super, which have proven themselves to me to be among the best sounding albums I've heard, so you can't go wrong on that score at least. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



ppint. 9th Dec 2020		Review 10-12 superb tracks, with excellent vocals by bobby whitlock, superb and sometimes call-and-response matching, sometimes soloing, and occasionally harmonising lead guitars with duane allman arguably pulling some of eric clapton's finest and extended virtuoso performances out of him for a long time to come, all built upon a good, reliable rhythm & bass from jim gordon and ginger baker, who was relatively constrained, not often able to seize the spotlight with flashy drum solos, but still worth listening to for all that. a classic album, and one of the very few double lps without a single duff track. 8 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

TopPopper 5th Feb 2014		Review Eric Clapton at his best. Wonderful album - guitar sings out, songs full of feeling, and his originals are the best tracks. (Apart from "Little Wing' which is fantastic.) Sick, and in love with George Harrison's wife, he produced his only masterpiece. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
