Vinyl Box Set

On September 30th, 2022, a very special 12 LP box set will be released revisiting a key era in the vaunted career of Slowhand. Titled "The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Volume 1", the collection celebrates Eric Clapton’s 1983 union with Reprise Records.

It contains newly remastered versions of 6 studio albums pressed on 180 gram vinyl, "Money & Cigarettes" (1983) as a single LP, "Behind The Sun" (1985), "August" (1986), "Journeyman" (1989), "From The Cradle" (1994), and "Pilgrim" (1998) as double LP's. "Behind The Sun" and "August" were originally released as single LP's, both are now 3 sided double albums to avoid long LP sides and to maximize the audio quality.

The final LP in the collection, "Rarities" (1983-1998), brings together 8 rare recordings from this era, including live versions of “White Room” and “Crossroads”, that were both featured on the b side of the 1987 single “Behind The Mask”. Another b side, “Theme From A Movie That Never Happened” appeared in 1998 on the single, “My Father’s Eyes”. It also contains a cover of Albert King’s “Born Under A Bad Sign”, which was an outtake from the studio sessions for 1994’s "From The Cradle".

Early 2023 will see the release of "The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Volume 2", a companion vinyl boxed set that features Clapton’s Reprise studio albums spanning 2001-2010, along with an exclusive LP of rarities from that era. More details on this release will be announced soon.
