Vinyl Box Set 2

Following the recent release of "The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Vol I" boxset, Eric Clapton will release "The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Vol II" in January 2023. The 10 LP vinyl box includes the following albums, "Reptile", "Me & Mr Johnson", "Sessions for Robert J", "Back Home", "Clapton" and "Rarities Vol II : 2001-2010".

This limited edition vinyl only box set comprises of 5 studio albums Eric Clapton recorded for Reprise between 2001 and 2010, starting with "Reptile" and concluding with the eponymously titled "Clapton". Originally released as a CD/DVD set, this box set sees the 1st vinyl release of "Sessions for Robert J".

Each of the albums has been remastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Studios in Maine and the vinyl mastering was done by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles. Simon Climie, Clapton’s long time co-producer and engineer, oversaw these definitive remasters which are pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

To further elevate the audio quality, "Me & Mr Johnson", originally released as a single LP, has been remastered as 3 sided double albums, to ensure that no single LP side exceeds 20 minutes. The album has an etching on side 4.

A bonus LP of "Rarities" compiled and produced by Simon Climie is included and covers the same period as the box. Most of the 8 tracks are out of print, hard to find, or previously unreleased on vinyl.

The 5 studio albums and "Rarities" album make a total of 10 pieces of vinyl in the box, all housed in a deluxe slipcase.
