Eric Clapton "Eric Clapton"
This is a US vinyl pressing on Atco SD 33-329 from 1970. This was his first solo album. The labels are yellow with black printing. This is the weird pressing with alternate takes and remixes. Many of the songs sound like they are early takes or no quite finished. "After Midnight" starts with studio chatter. "Blues Power" starts with louder piano and guitar intro, then a false start, and more echo as it plays.

About Me :
I started collecting records in 1966. I started selling records in Goldmine in 1985. I now sell records at all Northwest record conventions : Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Eugene, Grants Pass, and Canby. And at Crossroads Music in Portland, Oregon. On Discogs I am 'Fragilerecords'. My records are from a no smoking and no pets home. I am a record collector, not a DJ, so I almost never play my records.
Packaging :
I take great care on every package and I do each one personally. I will package this record between two pieces of hand cut cardboard. Each piece is 1/2 inch thick, triple strength industrial cardboard. Together they are very strong and unbendable. I always remove the record from the cover and seal them in a clear plastic sleeve. The package will be marked in red : "Fragile Record" on both sides.
