Crossroads CD-1Įric Clapton appeared on the music scene in Britain circa 1963 in a rave up blues group called The Yardbirds where he set the stage for some fast and furious guitar work. Cost for a new vinyl box set is $385 but there are plenty of very good to collectible used copies from $45 and up. The UK version is the updated one and the best deal.Įric Clapton – Crossroads Box Set UK version (hard bound book)Ĭrossroads is also available on 6 LP’s with the 11×11″ booklet. Included with the 4 CD’s is an informative 30-page 11×11″ booklet with bio, pictures and track information for each song.Īvailable in the UK from .uk for £22.42 ( US $33) where the booklet is hardbound and Canada from Amazon.ca for $59.32. Where to get the box setĪ has Crossroads for $40. If you take the time to read the booklet and track-by-track details it is amazing how many other great musicians have played on these tracks including Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Duane Allman, not to slight the hundreds of others. Clapton is a great live performer who knows how to hold the crowd’s attention. Each CD is entertaining in on its own and together they make a great span of his first 25 years and the must-own Eric Clapton box set.Īlong with tracks off his top albums there never-released-before live performances and studio tracks like “I Shot The Sheriff” 1974 and “Further On Up The Road” 1977 from Hammersmith, “Double Trouble” from Bukodan 1980 and 2 live performances of “Crossroads” one by Cream and one by Derek and the Dominos. What I like about this box set – other than 4 CD’s and 73 songs by Eric Clapton – is how it lays out his career so you can see the progression, his changes and the breadth of his enormous talent. From his first recordings with The Yardbirds, John Mayall, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, George Harrison, Derek and the Dominoes and onto his solo career. 4 CD’s and 73 songs by Eric Clapton’s career the progression, his changes and the breadth of his enormous talentīy Stephen Pate – Crossroads is the one Eric Clapton record that contains the rich early heritage of Eric Clapton.
