WOW .. This cd has exactly what I was looking for; A little of old "Cream" and a lot of several variations of Eric Clapton.. Listening to "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was a real treat and reminded me of some days so very long ago..

What can I say, this is CLAPTON. Nothing else be said. The songs are some of his best. I'm partial also to the UNPLUGGED CD if you are into his acoustical side of play. ALso check out his Blues CD if you love the blues.
I bought the CD several months ago and am still loving it. I have always been a fan of Eric Clapton and have been since the early 1970s. The Cream of Clapton continues to remain one of my favorite albums. It invokes so many sweet memories. I bought the CD because my friend plays it everytime we get together for the holidays. Hearing it makes me feel like it is Christmas every day. Simply the best! No complaints about anything concerning the quality of the CD. It plays perfectly.
If you like Eric Clapton in his various incarnations, you will like this historical revue of the different "feels" of each of his formative eras. These are all tracks from fairly early years. The original "Layla" is of course a classic.
I was looking for a reasonably priced CD specifically for the CREAM song "Sunshine of Your Love". I recently bought my 10 yr. old son an electric guitar and he kept playing the riff (or is it spelled rift?)from that song. I told him about Eric Clapton and Cream and in my head I told myself I would buy him the CD to hear it for himself. After checking local stores I discovered the price of a new Cream CD was too much so I found this one on eBay. The shipping was prompt and the CD was in perfect order and clean. Now....we keep playing the CD and enjoy all the songs immensely...especially me, the "old" man who used to rock to Cream's music. I like the sounds, memories and smile it brought to my son's face. Previous eBay purchases of CD's have been good experiences but once a seller pulled a fast once and sent a badly defective CD...not so this time. But like most of my eBay purchases....things have been good. But there is always a "bad apple" in the bunch trying to get over on others. Not this time.
This CD contains lots of good classic Eric Clapton tracks. I bought it so that I could listen to what I like in Eric's music, not what the radio station thinks that I like. I would recommend it as one of the building blocks to a collection of Clapton music.
