Eric Clapton, the god of guitar. After joining the Yardbirds at the age of 18 in 1963, he rose to become one of the leading guitarists of British rock with John Mayall \u0026amp; the Bluesbreakers and Cream. In particular, from 1966 to 1967, he masterfully used a Gibson Les Paul and Marshall amplifiers, establishing \"blues guitar in rock\" with his sharp fingering and powerful vibrato. He garnered praise not only from music fans but also from fellow musicians. From 1963 to 1967, Eternal Grooves presents the ultimate collection of early recordings, meticulously compiling only the finest performances from Eric Clapton's recordings, live performances, and collaborations\/guest appearances with other artists. It begins with Clapton's earliest recordings, such as a 1963 live performance when the Yardbirds backed legendary bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson II on his UK tour, and \"Stirs Me Up\" from a London session with Otis Spann and Muddy Waters. It continues through the Yardbirds era, where his sharp, angular phrases shone with a Telecaster and VOX. Then, he moved to the Bluesbreakers, where his blues phrases created with a Les Paul and Marshall 1962 earned him the title of \"CLAPTON IS GOD.\" Finally, it includes recordings from Powerhouse, a temporary, phantom band with Stephen Winwood and Jack Bruce, and sessions with Jimmy Page before the formation of Cream. In just five years, Clapton's guitar playing evolved dramatically, and this collection offers plenty of those moments. It includes rare tracks such as collaborations with New Orleans blues pianist Champion Jack Dupree (born in 1909) and a BBC live recording of \"Hideaway\" before the Bluesbreakers recording. Clapton's playing here is a part of British rock history. The ultimate collection of early masterpieces! With detailed Japanese commentary on each track and included postcards, this limited series always sells out quickly, so fans should definitely check it out! Released by Eternal Grooves in a DVD-sized digipak 2CD set. [Detailed 12,000-word Japanese commentary.] [Includes 8-page booklet\/postcard] JASRAC-licensed product.
