Description
ERIC CLAPTON SLOWHAND AUDIOPHILE MFSL HALF SPEED MASTER RARE SEALED VINYL LP
Still sealed copy with hype sticker attached. Looks to have a very small brown spot under his hand which could just be an age spot and wipes off. Or it was a defect from the manufacture either way I can't check since it's still sealed but I wanted to mention it. No splits to jacket or noticeable corner dents other than the normal minor dings from being on shelf for so many years untouched. There must've been a store sticker on top left corner since there are 2 small plastic pieces still attached to the front.Album notes
SLOWHAND was the album which defined the new cool of Eric Clapton, a sultry, laid-back mix of rock and blues, with a heavy dose of country and southwestern regional sounds to leaven the blend. After LAYLA, SLOWHAND was probably Clapton's most popular, fully realized solo disc.
The opening number was by J.J. Cale, whose "After Midnight" had been one of the real joys of the guitarist's first solo excursion, ERIC CLAPTON. "Cocaine," with its slow grinding beat, menacing melodic vamp and one-step from perdition lyrics, was the toughest, most rocking number on SLOWHAND, and a major radio hit from the outset.
A couple of vocal duets with countryish harmonies set the tone for the rest of SLOWHAND. "Lay Down Sally" was a funky, chicken-fried bit of boogie with a taut, melodic aside from Clapton's twangy Stratocaster, while Don Williams' sweet, soulful "We're All The Way" provided a low-key vehicle for Clapton's tender vocal exchanges with Marcy Levy, as his understated arpeggios toll away in the background.
