Crossroads

Review

So successful was ERIC CLAPTON's Crossroads box set (as were, no doubt, the numerous high-quality live bootlegs that have surfaced on CD in recent years) that Atlas-Polydor has issued Crossroads 2: Live In The Seventies. The live fruits of Clapton's most fertile period are a delight for the fan. Stay tuned for Crossroads 4: The Mid-'80s, with an unreleased remix of the Miller Beer Commercial.

CMJ New Music Review

Including both his band work (with the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Blues Breakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, and Derek and the Dominos) and his long, varied solo career, this four-CD set does a spectacular job in gathering several decades' worth of Clapton's best. There are the requisite classics--"Layla," "Blues Power," "After Midnight," "Further On Up the Road," "Crossroads," and "I Shot the Sheriff," among many others--some of them in previously unreleased live or alternate studio recordings. Released in 1988, when only superstars were granted the box set, Crossroads became the blueprint for what such a retrospective should be. For its scope, this box skims the cream of Clapton's large output.
