The boxed set contains 6 LPs on 4 CDs, individually packaged in a 12" x 12" box with original cover art by Ron Wood. It includes a 32 page book with photos from throughout Clapton's career and a 6,000 word history of Clapton. All of the set's 73 songs have been digitally remastered for this release; in most cases, the source material was the original master tapes or original multi-tracks. All of the set's Derek And The Dominoes material is previously unreleased. In November 1990, CROSSROADS became the first CD box set to be certified platinum.The release of the 4-CD box set CROSSROADS is the perfect package to commemorate Eric Clapton's first 25 years of making music. Starting out as a blues purist with the like-minded Yardbirds, Clapton left after the band moved in a decidedly more pop direction. He began an apprenticeship under John Mayall. Encouraged to indulge in his love for the songs of Freddie King ("Hideaway") and Robert Johnson ("Ramblin' On My Mind") among others, Clapton metamorphosed into a guitar god after forming Cream with two of Mayall's sidemen, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. These three virtuosos set the bar for the classic power trio line-up and in the process redefined rock music and introduced unprecedented levels of improvisational freedom within songs such as "Crossroads." Post-Cream, Clapton took his godhead status into the supergroup Blind Faith before becoming a sideman with Delaney & Bonnie ("Comin' Home"). Using their back-up band on his solo debut led to the formation of Derek & The Dominos. This unit's synergy allowed Clapton to unleash all his accumulated creative might amidst the throes of personal unrest yielding the epic "Layla." Later, Clapton reinvented himself as a mellow singer-songwriter. CROSSROADS covers all this history and includes extensive liner notes by Anthony. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews  Crossroads the Clapton retrospective 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This is the collection which any fan of Clapton should be desperate to own. From the early masterworks with John Mayalls Bluesbreakers and The Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes to the acid fuelled flights of Cream to the country rock roots of 'Wonderful Tonight'. All of this guitar genius is on display and its a tour-de-force for anyone with the slightest weakness for the 'Axe' from the reggae lilt of Bob Marleys 'I Shot the Sheriff'to the seminal 'Strange Brew'to the most famous guitar riff of all, 'Layla' it's all here. 4 cds crammed full of blues and rock and musicianship of the highest order. Whats not to admire? I saw it and had to have it and for 23.00 inc p&p I almost feel guilty. With the original picture discs and a presentation hardback book full of notes and credits and a chronological list of songs this is the best example of a career retrospective that I have come across.

There are some great classic tracks and also previously unreleased alternate studio recordings. This set may not include everything from that period that you maybe would include yourself, but there’s a lot of great songs. This is an excellent box set of Eric’s early career.
