Derek and the Dominos 50th

The 2011 Deluxe Edition remaster cleaned up the sound considerably--Allman's guitar  in particular sounds more seamless and less tacked-on. I've long thought the original release would have been much better if had omitted filler like "Key to the Highway" and the odd "Thorn Tree" in favor of some of the songs on the bonus disc like Got to Get Better" and "Roll It Over".

murk…a disc I love ( music ) but hate ( sonics )

a primer for bad engineering..

If you are open to a more recent recording, the Tedeschi Trucks Band CD "Layla Revisted (live at LOCKN)" is worth a listen. They do the whole album live. (Fun facts: Derek Trucks was named after it, and Susan Tedeschi was born on the day it was released)

Not saying it replaces the original by any means (the drummer is no Jim Gordon) but I really enjoyed hearing a non-muddy performance of this old friend, the vocals and lead guitar being especially compelling.

i have heard that they where all coked to the gills, including the engineers. hung out  with this gang from time to time back in the day.

Yes the Tedeschi, Trucks recording is really good.
