Three sides? Now that's something completely different! :^)
Put some bonus tracks on that fourth side, for God's sake!

"The Breeze"
I received this yesterday, and I'm greatly disappointed. The pressing is of poor quality, and the music fairly uninspiring.
I've been a fan of EC for most of my adult life, and I expected better of him. And, it's only three sides!
Side one is pressed like the leadout grooves on some LP's, they waver in and out more than a quarter of an inch, throwing pitch out the window.
Disappointing.

I've had the CD version for a few weeks now and have listened to it several times through. The first few songs are pretty good, but it does indeed go downhill from there. I also had high expectations, but overall, I am disappointed in the music. I was going to get the vinyl, if I liked the CD, but I think I've changed my mind. |
I am not a huge Clapton fan on the grande scale of things, but Road to Escondido is another more recent Clapton release worth a listen. |
I guess it makes some sense in that lengths of albums originally released on vinyl in its heyday was typically 40-50 minutes or so. CDs offer 70 minutes. Newer releases straight to CD take that into account. Thats somewhere between 1.5 and 2 traditional 33 1/3 vinyl lps. So that math says 3 sides is right in teh ballpark. For $30 a pop, a premium over CD, they could add some more useless bonus tracks in there though still. :^) |
