this is im my opinion the best damn album ever. Duanne Allman and EC with delaney and bonnie. wow. they sold fairly well even though EC was trying to keep the identity of the players clandestine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clapton's Love Letter Has Just Gotten Better!, May 25, 2007

This mini-lp replica sleeve version of the Clapton classic is a treat for fans; the mlps design is fairly well done and contains the lyrics in both English and Japanese. Ths sound quality is not that well remastered though which is a shame. This album is Clapton's love letter to George Harrison's wife to whom he was secretly in love with but what really makes it great is the guitar work on it done by both Clapton and Duane Allman. At the time the album was made, both men were the foremost exponents of blues guitar in the world. If anyone was better at it than Clapton, it had to be Duane Allman who tragically died soon after this album was made. Duane's slide guitar work is still amazing to behold today. Few people realise that it was Duane who played the lead on the famous track "Layla" with Eric playing rhythm guitar on the main riff.

Overall, this is essential listening for fans of blues guitar and especially for students of rock guitar.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Derek & The Dominos' Layla, September 8, 2003

This album is the classic of all classics. There is not a song on it that I don't love! A one-of-a-kind recording that can never be repeated. It sure will bring you back to the good old days of your youth (If you're about 50 years old!). Eric Clapton at his finest. A must-have no matter what age you are. Buy it now!!! You cannot go wrong.
