I have one! I bought it when it came out back around 1991. It is a wonderful
collector's piece.
I was lucky enough to get back stage in 1992 and get the whole crew
including Roger Forrester to sign
the Derek Taylor book.I think I paid $250 for it. Can't remember. Scott

So I'm waiting for my sandwich to arrive at Quizno's sub shop today and the
in-house music system is playing Quizno sub commercials and house music. All
of a sudden I hear a bluesy shuffle that sounds like Roll It from Backless.
I recognize Clapton's voice immediately and he's singing Before You Accuse
Me. It's a studio version with lots of slide. Very different and funky. WHAT
IS THIS FROM?

After reading a great article in Guitar Player magazine on open G tuning =
I wondered if anyone knows if=20
Eric uses any open tunings and if so which and on what songs.
Kudos also to this years Slowhanders CD tribute!!! Wished everyone =
lived closer so we could get together and
have some jams sessions.

Ken,
I wrote about the "Limited Edition" CDs just a few weeks ago (see below).
I believe I saw "In The Blues With EC 1" listed on one of our Japanese
subscriber's web sites, and it appears to be a compilation.
Don't know what "Eric Clapton Live" is, but I'm pretty sure it's NOT "E.C.
Was Here."

Subject: EC Limited Edition CDs
Several weeks ago, some Slowhand Digest readers asked questions about Eric
Clapton "Limited Edition" CDs, listed on CDnow and other web sites. Nobody
seemed to know what these were, but I think I've figured it out. Apparently,
these are new Japanese releases (released 21 November 2001) by Universal
Music Japan. The CDs, I believe, are the same digital copies of the latest
remastered CDs--with one fortunate and notable exception--and they are
packed in mini-LP sleeve duplicates of the original vinyl album covers. Such
CDs have been released before, both in Japan and Austria, by Polydor, which
is now owned by Universal Music.
So, big deal. What's new?
Well, the list of releases is greater than before. This time, I believe all
Universal-owned Cream, Clapton, and Derek & The Dominos releases have been
reissued, to include the three box sets ("Crossroads," "Crossroads 2," and
Cream's "Those Were The Days"). But that's not all. John Mayall's "Blues
Breakers With Eric Clapton" (aka "Beano") has been reissued in this spate of
new CDs as well. Digitally--and fortunately--it's the same 24-track
(mono/stereo) CD as issued previously (1998) in Europe and Japan (not the
latest 14-track remastered CD released in the US this year). However, this
is the first time, to my knowledge, that "Beano" has been issued in a
mini-LP cover. And it's the first time that the CD has been issued on the
original Decca label (not Deram). In fact, the mini-LP cover is an exact
duplicate of the original UK album, released 22 July 1966.
All the new releases can be viewed at the Universal Music Japan web site
(http://www.universal-music.co.jp/u-pop/artist/eric_clapton/eric_clapton_dis
co.html).
These new CDs are a bit expensive on CDnow, about $35.00. But they can be
ordered for $25.00, plus postage, from the importer Electric Obiland
http://www.obiland.com (search for "Mayall"), and they are available now.

I'm not an expert with AOL, and certainly don't want to be, but I have seen
in ads that they've recently released version 7.0. Those AOL members out
there that are suddenly receiving the Digest - did you upgrade? Just a
guess....anyway, great to have you back (now change ISP's!!)

In answer to (part of) the following question, In The
Blues With EC 1 is a CD issued recently by Universal
Music Japan. I do not have it in front of me at the
moment but it has eight (I think) blues tracks by
other artists where EC also appears on guitar. From
memory, the tracks are:
3 by Clarence Gatemouth Brown
2 by Marc Benno
1 by Bobby Womack
1 by Buckwheat Zydeco
plus one I have forgotten at the moment. I hope that
this helps.

The tribute is excellent, but be careful with sending it to any "official"
company - the material on it is copyrighted! I'm not an expert on these laws
in different countries, but at least here in Germany you are not allowed
to give it away without paying fees...
Anyway, it would be worth getting a grammy ;)
Keep on,

And anybody who's actually got the nerve to pass judgement like this on
two (more or less) folks that he or she does not know personally at all
is not only plain ignorant but an arrogant a(BEEP), too!
Come on, ladies and gents! I really haven't seen much in terms of
congratulations here, am a bit disappointed... Eric's birthday (which
really comes around more often!) generates more wishes from the list....
So, without further ado:
All the best to Eric, Melia and their family! And may God be with you!!
(pun intended, yet at the time a heartfelt wish :) )

my sources tell me they are $480 from the publisher, so $350 used would be a
relative bargain.

That's a great idea, Josh. I was also thinking that maybe they HAD to
de-bug their software due to the news reports of a great many AOL
subscribers who had their College admissions results refused by AOL as
"spam".
Although, Dave Hillman, I think that AOL 7.0 explains why they weren't
willing to work with you about de-bugging their "old" program - why spend
money fixing something you intend to replace? On the other hand, if it gets
in the papers ...
