Famous recording! Limited number is back in stock!
Pattie Boyd loved by two great guitarists
A masterpiece of gems given to her by Eric Clapton, all 13 tracks.
Let's introduce it.

1. Layla ..... The number dedicated to Patty is the representative song among the representative songs. Here, the studio live take from the TV program "DUETS" co-starring with Dr. John on May 9, 1996 is recorded. It's the one and only version of Clapton's career, with an electric tempo of the "unplugged" version and shuffled performances. This was the only time Clapton played the song on the Gibson ES-335.

2. Pretty Girl ..... A love ballad from "MONEY AND CIGARETTES". A number that sincerely confessed her gratitude to Patty and her love, but played only twice on stage. One of them, the take at the Seattle performance on the first day of the North American tour on February 1, 1983. You can listen to the sincere play and songs as in the studio version. The middle solo is by Albert Lee.

3. Peaches And Diesel
4. Wonderful Tonight ..... A representative song of the love ballad recorded in the masterpiece "SLOWHAND". The episode that she kept waiting for Patty to get dressed for the party and made during her waiting time to dispel her frustration is famous. "Peaches And Diesel" was created by developing the code of "Wonderful Tonight". So to speak, both songs are a pair and the number is completed. Live take from the Santa Monica performance on February 11, 1978. It is a performance filled with melting sweetness.

5. The Shape You're In ..... A song that calls attention to Patty, who was in the process of overcoming alcoholism in 1983 and was similarly drunk due to his influence. .. It was written with her thoughts in mind, but it is also a selfish song that only oneself did not look after Patty toward her healthy body. Includes a live take of the Bremen performance on April 20, 1983 from the "MONEY AND CIGARETTES" tour. Listen to a fire-breathing interplay with Albert Lee (Albert is on the left channel, Clapton is on the right).

6. Old Love ..... An "unexperienced" song that agonizes over Patty who has broken up. It's a song that expresses Clapton's regrets, and in the studio version of "JOURNEYMAN", I heard an interplay with Robert Cray, but here it is a live performance of the Budokan performance that was televised on October 27, 1997.・ Recorded takes. Joe Sample's beautiful piano solo is a must-listen.

7. Bell Bottom Blues ..... A love song written by Clapton with that as a keyword because Patty, who fell in love with her in 1970, liked bell bottom bottoms. The episode written while lying on the floor with Mandrax is also interesting. Recorded the live take of the Yokohama Arena performance that was broadcast on satellite TV on November 24, 1999. It was played acoustically here. Moist play makes you feel the passage of time.

8. Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad ..... This is also a representative song of the Dominos era. It is a passionate number that hits the feeling of falling in love with Patty straight, and a famous performance is left even in the Dominos era. A popular number set in from the 2006 performance in Japan for the first time in 31 years. Here is a live take of the Hard Rock Calling on June 28, 2008 at Hyde Park. Clapton's vigorous solo and the twin lead with Doyle in the second half of the instrumental part are heard. The quality of the play is comparable to what it used to be.

9. I Am Yours ..... This is also a number from the Dominos era and is included in "LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS". Recorded a live take at the Le Canne performance in France on May 5th, the first day of the 2006 tour. This song was played live for the first time in Clapton's career history. The lyrics are taken from a passage in the novel "Leila and Majunun" written by Persian writer Nizami. It is a number with the feelings of Clapton who wanted to be assimilated with Patty.

10. She is She She is's Waiting ..... "BEHIND THE SUN" recording song. At the time of making this album, Clapton's affair & hidden child case was discovered. He was in danger of divorcing Patty. Contrary to Patty's desire to cling to this song, Patty is no longer waiting for another lover to appear, and Clapton shows his strength. Includes a live take of the Brighton performance on February 1, 1992. You can hear an arrangement that is more faithful to the original version than the take of the 1985 tour.

11. Never Make You Cry ..... This song is also included in "BEHIND THE SUN". Here, on the contrary, I sincerely apologize to Patty for taking a slow and melodious approach. A live take from the Virginia performance on April 20, 1985, which was aired on FM radio at the time. Clapton rarely uses a Roland guitar synthesizer to produce a flute-like clean tone. Patty was struck by her sincere Clapton's sincerity in this song, and she forgave him (although her unforgivable incident happened again and she divorced).

12. Just Like A Prisoner .... This is also a number from "BEHIND THE SUN", where Clapton likens himself to a lonely prisoner because he has a gap in his heart with Patty. .. Includes a live take at the Birmingham performance on March 1, 1985. This song was played only a few times at that time. It sings dramatically as in the studio version, and in the second half, it makes a terrible guitar solo.

13. Layla ..... Live take from the first show of "Rainbow Concert" on January 13, 1973. It is also released on the official version, but it is a fake version of the chorus re-recorded and edited by another person. This is a real live version. With the cooperation of Pete Townshend, Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood and others, it is a moving take that even a piano coder was completed. It can be said that the color is produced as a version that is closest to the tension and arrangement of the original song.

How was it. If you listen to the episode while reading it like this, there may be a song that gives you a different impression. It's also a good idea to read their autobiography before listening. It's really nice to see the pictures used on the jacket, the beautiful female Pattie Boyd, who inspired these many masterpieces. Without her, a masterpiece in rock history called "Itoshi no Leila" would not have been born. Let's remember the passion of that day and listen again.
