............ ALBUM NOTES ..............
SLOWHAND was the album which defined the new cool of Eric Clapton, a sultry, laid-back mix of rock and blues, with a heavy dose of country and southwestern regional sounds to leaven the blend. After LAYLA, SLOWHAND was probably Clapton's most popular, fully realized solo disc.The opening number was by J.J. Cale, whose "After Midnight" had been one of the real joys of the guitarist's first solo excursion, ERIC CLAPTON. "Cocaine," with its slow grinding beat, menacing melodic vamp and one-step from perdition lyrics, was the toughest, most rocking number on SLOWHAND, and a major radio hit from the outset.A couple of vocal duets with countryish harmonies set the tone for the rest of SLOWHAND. "Lay Down Sally" was a funky, chicken-fried bit of boogie with a taut, melodic aside from Clapton's twangy Stratocaster, while Don Williams' sweet, soulful "We're All The Way" provided a low-key vehicle for Clapton's tender vocal exchanges with Marcy Levy, as his understated arpeggios toll away in the background. ..........................................

ALBUM NOTES: ..........
Slowhand is an album by Eric Clapton, released in 1977. It contained three of his most popular singles, the bluesy "Cocaine", the ballad "Wonderful Tonight" and the country-flavoured #3 U.S. hit "Lay Down Sally", as well as other songs that became Clapton classics on their own like "The Core" and "Next Time You See Her". The album proved to be a big success and a step forward after the relative failure of Clapton's previous album, No Reason to Cry. It was both critically and commercially well received, reaching #2 on the Billboard Album Charts, only surpassed by the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. In 2003, the album was ranked number 325 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. ..................

********************************* ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ *************************************** The until-recently-defunct "Mobile Fidelity Labs" audiophile album vinyl pressings were not only analogue, audiophile masterpieces and connoisseur delights, they have become true pieces of audio history and lore. These majestic recordings received a meticulous and laborious treatment like no other recordings in the entire history of the recorded sound. They are characterized by the massively extended dynamic and frequency range, mastering from the very first generation of original master tapes, almost compulsive attention paid to the detail and integrity of the pressing, and the highest quality of the material (only the "virgin-", audiophile-grade vinyl was used, and most of the titles were pressed by RCA/Victor and/or Warner-Pioneer corporations of Japan, both known for their near-obsessive attention paid to the fine sonic detail and audio craftsmanship); a special proprietary technology was used to achieve analogue-like, warm, translucent, radiant, vivid and all-encompassing sound. To this day, many of these recordings remain unsurpassed, delivering music reproduction as close to the actual recording session as possible, without any loss of musical information inherent in the standard practice of mastering from the inferior "production" copies. EVER SINCE THE MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS TEMPORARILY CLOSED IN DECEMBER OF 1999 (ONLY TO REOPEN IN 2003), THESE RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN ESCALATING IN VALUE AND DEMAND. *********************************************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAS AMERIKANISCHE LABEL MFSL(MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LAB) HAT IN DEN ACHTZIGER JAHREN WOHL WELTWEIT DIE BESTEN SCHALLPLATTEN (LP`S) PRODUZIERT.....IMMER IN LIZENZ NUR VON DEN ORIGINAL MASTERBÄNDERN.....UND IM HALFSPEED VERFAHREN.....IN EINEM HOCHWERTIGEN MASTERING MIT DEM BEST MÖGLICHEN EQUIPMENT .....DIE PRESSUNG ERFOLGTE IN JAPAN AUF FEINSTEM VIRGIN VINYL(SUPER HIGH DEFINITION VINYL)......DAHER DER EINZIGARTIGE KLANG DIESER AUFNAHMEN......SOMIT AUCH TEURER ALS NORMALE LP PRESSUNGEN.......MFSL-LP´s SIND UNTER SAMMLERN UND MUSIKGENIESSERN WELTWEIT SEHR BEGEHRT UND SEHR GESUCHT.......!!........ALLE LP`s BEFINDEN SICH IN DEM MFSL EIGENEN HOCHWERTIGEN ANTISTATISCHEN INNERSLEEVE UND SIND DURCH DEN MFSL EIGENEN PAPPSCHUBER ALS VERSTÄRKUNG ZUM SCHUTZ DER LP`s AUSGESTATTET...!!..... |
