I was surprised to find this full of blues riffs. I don't associate Clapton with them.

It is difficult to find any fault with Erik's playing over the last whatever years I'm a big fan his talent is undeniable so why four stars are well it just seemed a little bit slow maybe not up to his normal standard so I would say if you like Eric get it but it's not going to be in your top 5 list most likely

I have a very revealing stereo and this CD is among the best recordings that I have. The fact that it is live is even more impressive. This is the 2nd cd that I have very recently purchased used in good condition from Tuscon Goodwill and they have both arrived in very good condition.

Product was like new. Sounds excellent. Can't complain except for Amazon shipping while they did put big bubble wrap in the box with it. They only put it on one side so if the album had been hit from the bottom of the box it could have damaged it. Luckily that was not the case

Clapton fanboy, so there is your grain of salt. now for the vinyl review of this remastered masterpiece. the original CD of this performance was stellar. Clapton has always had excellent sound engineers, both live and in studio. to give you an idea of the quality of his sound engineers the CD is still used as the reference for "HD Audio" downloads (16bit/44.1kHz). so the background for quality is set. recently this concert was remastered and YES it is noticeable. the soundstage is wider, his voice has more detail/warmth, each note from all instruments can be heard as if you were there in the middle of the set. Clapton is the inspiration for me, and countless others, picking up the guitar. i have the same Martin model he used with his line of martin strings. i can play all of his songs and the sound is close (tonally, not as clean or accurately) but with this vinyl it is as close to being there, again even better than the digital.

as with any music there are certain things you just can't compromise on. first the artist has to use quality recording gear, then the studio has to master it correctly. this has been perfect on this album. next you have to ensure your part of the audio chain is up to snuff to get the best out of it. IMO speakers can overcome other areas that may be lacking, but you don't have to spend thousands to achieve quality sound. next is the play back device. for Vinyl a quality cartridge can make a huge difference, again you don't have to go super expensive. lastly the amp should be decent, and most amps these days are more than capable. now if you have a good setup then this vinyl 4 record set should really really be in your collection.

my set-up;
elac B6 speakers (14 gauge wire speaker cable)
u-turn orbit with ortofon 2M red
custom made phono pre-amp (i know how to make them but any good pre-amp will be fine)
Denon AVR-1912 with "pure direct" mode for phono (this bypasses all digital paths and just amplifies the analog signal from the pre-amp)

if you have better equipment i'm jealous, because i know this album can sound phenomenal.

I think that is Eric's best offering. I saw him in Philadelphia @ 10 years ago. He was great. This I bought in vinyl. If you like acoustic guitar with blues overtones, you will love this album.

Good sound quality for a live recording, the acoustic atmosphere is very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2020

A very good live acoustic recording with an intimate atmosphere which captures the sense of presence and being there.

I have not set out to write reviews of the music content as “beauty is in the ears of the listener”. These reviews are about the quality (or not) of the recorded sound. To read about how the reviews are done please see my profile.

• Clarity – very good, no muddiness, excellent tone and detail
• Channel separation – very good
• Channel balance – conventional as would be expected
• Sound Stage – reasonable, not the widest but to be expected given the limited instrumentation. It is an intimate sound stage
• Distortion – non audible
• Compression – good highs and lows, no frequency flattening or loss audible
• Atmosphere – very good, the feeling of a live set comes across very well and the recording has an intimate feel. The audience is well recorded and not overly intrusive
• Bass – low frequencies – very good given that this is an acoustic set. The bass elements are clear and distinct
• Treble – high frequencies – this together with the midrange is where this recording excels, it is warm and detailed. The string resonance from the acoustic instruments is clearly audible
• Vocals Clapton’s vocals are never the greatest but on this recording they have good warmth and detail. The female backing vocals are just that, a little too far back.

As a general rule of thumb recordings from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s are nearly always better on the original vinyl. Remasters often fail to please as it’s just not possible to make a silk purse from a sows ear, i.e. the original recording lacks the necessary detail to be processed digitally and show an audible improvement. Indeed such processing can make the sound worse.

Modern recordings which have been processed digitally from start to finish can be as good as vinyl. CD’s are often unfairly criticised for being poor quality. This is not the case, it is the original recording or the process which is to blame. Modern “remasters” can both enhance and degrade a recording. The statement GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) is the limiting factor. Ignore this at your cost.

Greatest Live Album Of All Time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

Eric Clapton's "MTV Unplugged" is nothing short of a masterpiece. Opening with the short instrumental Clapton and the band quickly set the tone for the blues standards. I bought this album for "Layla" but the entire album is a joy to listen to with "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" and "Before You Accuse Me" Clapton's phenomenal guitar solos makes you feel like your front at the concert. Clapton and the band are showcasing the magic that only happens at live events. MTV do a tremendous job at releasing these types of albums.
The audience is applauding passionately after each track and offering a standing ovation after the performance. During the show, i could actually hear a pin drop in the small theatre when listening through my KEF LS50's. This is the greatest live album I have ever heard and I'm very happy to recommend it to any audiophile or Eric Clapton fans.

MUST BUY!

Unplugged is for me, one of the best albums that EC has produced and is a great tribute to his playing and that of the band. He has surrounded himself with great musicians and it really shows in every part of the album. This not just about EC. He allows lots of solo contributions from others and he showcases other composers in a mix of different styles which make for a varied and eclectic album. Great stuff

Great album, quality pressing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Having recently got back into Vinyl after several years of listening to CD's and streamed music, I decided there were a select few albums that warranted being in my vinyl collection and Eric Clapton Unplugged is one that definitely needed inclusion. This is a 180g pressing and it is absolutely superb! There's something about the sound, the size and artwork of an LP that CD's lack. I also love that anticipation when the stylus lowers onto the album and then the music starts. I'm pleased with this purchase and the price I paid (about £16) wasn't overly expensive. This version is the single album which, I think, misses out one track over the double album that is also available, but, this one suited my needs. Highly recommended.

superb vinyl release

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2016

Not a lot to be said that hasn't already been stated about this fabulous album.Clapton doing the blues stripped down.A masterclass blues session.
My comment is on this 180g vinyl release,which to my mind adds a new crisp dimension to a superb show . The audio is absolutely phenomenal and quite simply enriches the experience even further.
If you enjoy Clapton doing his thang they please do not delay and buy this vinyl,which,i might add is in a gatefold sleeve with plain card inner sleeve.Ive added an anti static bag to preserve the pressing.
