Living legend ERIC CLAPTON is releasing ”Rarities 1983-1998”, the standalone version of rare & unreleased tracks previously only available into a box set appeared last year. The album includes rarities from his ‘80s/’90s Reprise Records era, all with first class sound production and remastered for the occasion.
It’s great to hear the unreleased cover of Albert King’s ”Born Under a Bad Sign” done by Eric with nerve, or the rocking ”Stone Free”. Also we find songs performed Live in Birmingham, England, 1986, where the guitarist is on top form and the sound quality is superb.
We find as well ”Theme From A Movie That Never Happened” a beautiful unreleased song for a movie that never was used, and a rare remix of ”Pilgrim” done in 2020 but used as promo only.
Highly Recommended
