Product Description

Limited Mobile Fidelity hybrid SACD pressing. Mastered from the original master tapes. The reputation of Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, their lone record, precedes it. Eric Clapton performing in the studio with Duane Allman, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and more for the only time. A batch of fire-pot blues, poignant gospel, and searing rock all birthed from the leader's insatiable lust for his friend George Harrison's wife. Now, experience it all, and one of the most famous guitar solos and codas in history, in unsurpassed sound courtesy of this quintessential Mobile Fidelity reissue. Mastered from the original master tapes, this SACD exposes the brilliance of Tom Dowd's original production and the scope of the virtuoso musicians' playing. You've never been closer to the aching vocals, stinging leads, tormented emotions, or wowing intensity that grace every track. Clapton's tones emerge with unprecedented soulfulness. Afforded their own space in the mix, Allman's slide-guitar passages crackle with urgency. All-important sonic components such as soundstaging, imaging, and dynamics transport you to the actual event. Then, of course, there's the title track crowned the 27th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone. What to say about the outro arguably the most famous, passionately penetrating, visceral, double-edged guitar solo in history. Clapton's strings weeping with longing, hope, regret, unrequited love. It deserves the best-possible sonic platform, and receives it here, on a pressing that brings Slowhand's every finger moment into great relief. Get inside Clapton's head, burrow into the conflicted emotions fluttering in his heart as he pines for his another man's wife, and in the process, produces an album that forever lives in the souls of anyone who's ever loved and lost.

SACD盤の方はHMVでの表記に詳細が無く「単なるSACD Stereo」だと思って購入したところ、ちゃんと「SACD Multi」もSurround Sound Program Produce & Mixingし直されていて大変喜びました。とにかく全体が伸び伸びと部屋中に広がるようなSurround Mixingされているので大変気持ちよいです。 LAYLAでは今までのStereo Mixingでは聞こえてこなかったAGの役割が良く聞こえてきて、CodaのPianoとAGがUnisonで演奏しているのは意外と気が付いていない程効果的なSoundでした。 このアルバムが好きな人は是非!SACD Multi収録盤を・・・
