Complete Clapton

Once I had the LP thoroughly cleaned they sound great - this is a fabulous collection of Eric Clapton music although there are a few songs I do not personally care for included. The devil was getting the records clean enough to sound right. I noticed no issues with music quality, mixing, or built-in pops and hisses.1) These appear to be 120 gram weight LPs and all four of them have slight warping. The first LP was the worst but my turn table tracks over the warps without any problem. Just be sure you have a turntable that has good anti-skate controls and that they and the stylus weight are set correctly.2) These 4 LPs had the most "leaf-litter" I have seen on new vinyl in quite a while. I call the shreds of tiny paper, cardboard and plastic that gets onto new records as they are package "leaf-litter". All 4 LPs had quite a lot of visible waste paper on them and some was stuck to the vinyl surface.3) All 4 LPs had some kind of dried residue in the tracks - this lowers fidelity and can cause skipping issues. All 4 LPs required multiple thorough wet cleanings before I could detect no more track residue. The residue does not harm the LPs, it just has to be removed to get the best music possible. I used LP cleaning fluid and distilled water.4) Because of all the debris on the new surface, I had to keep cleaning my stylus after playing one side of each LP or I would start hearing "pops" again. Once I had completed a second through cleaning and re-cleaned the stylus this issue disappeared. I can now play the LPs without any extra cleaning over and above what all my LPs get when I listen to them.It is not unusual for new LPs to have these issues, but the amount of debris and residue was unusual. I don't subtract from their score because all of this is fixable with some good cleaning which I do on all new LPs anyway.It is too bad these are not heavier vinyl LPs, the music cries out for superior materials workmanship.

I have been getting back into vinyl, moving away from hundred or so CDs back to the LPs from my 60s and 70s youth. Bought into the craze again of the sound of an LP vinyl vs the CD. First thing I find which is important is a CD is so easy to skip over songs. For a vinyl, put it on, sit back and listen to how the Producer and artist put the sequence of songs together, listen for the effects, the story, the ambience, the highs and the lows. Don't get that from skipping from track 2 to track 16 on a cd cause you don't ever listen to whats in the middle. So, this colleciton, what can I say? Picked up new receiver, turntable etc. Been repopulating collection with these remastered LPs. Got the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkle, Jackson Browne etc. Always concerned when they arrive as to the sound, the fidelity, can I trust, do they sound good in the system? This just arrived, first track, blew me away. It is a great recording. I am on Derek and the Dominos right now and there is no let up. The retakes of Creme, awesome, now Layla, awesome. This is worth every penny it costs. Great packaging, albulms in great shape. But the sound, even when I have to set volume low, still clear, still hear instruments, harmonies, leads. This is worth it, this is a very nice collection. I wish I could say this about all I have recently purchased. This is fabulous. Gotta have a Clapton collection for those rainy days, I wish it would rain some more today, this is great!!!!!

I bought this album for my son to enjoy on his new record player. I took my oldest granddaughter to an Eric Clapton concert and now she can hear all of Eric Clapton's songs.

The LP arrived when expected. The sound is great on my Audio-Technicas 120. The track list selections kept the filler to a minimum. Highly recommend this LP.

1/2 speed mastering sounds amazing. Indeed the dead wax is marked 'SR/2 @ SRM' if you have listened to the old 60's LPs and later digitized for CD versions this will be an ear opener. Some of the background instrumentation sounds muted, but the important stuff is crystal clear and the empty grooves are dead quiet. Young listeners my not appreciate why this is such a change for the better without an A/B. Take my word for it and get the vinyl NOW while it's perfect. Packaging was triple boxed with zero marks left on the LP box.

The recording and playback sound on these 4 lp’s is great. The 1/2 speed mastering really paid off and I could hear really enjoyable sounds. For the Clapton fan, this is a nice collection and at a great price for 4 vinyl lp’s. The sleeves that hold the vinyl is thin and so is the overall case. My case and sleeves where slightly dinged (I guess from the shipping and possibly the handling/storing at Amazon. But I still gave it 5 stars for the recording and playback sound. A satisfied customer.

The main picture for this listing currently shows the Record Store Day Edition, but is in fact the standard version without the added 45. I wasn't expecting to receive the Record Store Day Edition but just wanted to make people aware of what they will be receiving.As for the box set, the two gate-folds are very nice in the slide in outer box. The records are in poly sleeves and are perfectly flat and dead quiet. Very nice presentation.Highly recommended.

Good album, good pressing, in nice packaging. Only complaint is the 120g vinyl - as advertised - but most reissues and represses are on 180 gram vinyl, this seemed cheap in comparison.That said, I had no issues whatsoever playing it on my vintage HK turntable

Great compilation on vinyl covering claptons career in all its musical guises. Generally well remastered albeit I have heard the cream material sound better which lacks a little in the dynamics and sounds slightly flat, the remainder of the compilation sounds excellent.

It made me remember just how really great Eric is - A really lovely collection to listen to.

Ich bewerte nicht die Musik, die ist fantastisch.Platten haben einen Warp und bei den älteren Stücken einen unangemehmen Höhenschlag im Sound.Sehr schade!DIe zweite Platte mit den neueren Stücken kling sehr gut hat aber einige kleine Pressfehler die knacken.

Si estás interesado en empezar a escuchar a Eric te lo recomiendo

très bonne compilation son excellent
