Released in conjunction with Eric Clapton`s autobiography, COMPLETE CLAPTON provides the soundtrack to the original guitar hero`s decades-spanning journey. Over the course of two discs, this collection tracks Clapton`s progress from the ground-breaking psychedelic blues-rock of Cream and the short-lived supergroup Blind Faith, through his Duane Allman collaboration, Derek & the Dominos, and on to his prolific solo career.

Eric Clapton, 26, who may be the worlds greatest rock guitarist (Cream, Blind faith, Derek and the Dominoes), grew up with his grandparents, a family called Clapp, and called them Mum and Dad. John Charles Clapp, a plasterer, died last year and his widow, Rose, lives alone now in this house Eric brought them in Surrey. She visits her "son" once a month in his large villa nearby.

Upon the dissolution of Cream, Clapton immediately moved from the first "power trio" to the first "supergroup", assembling Blind Faith along with Bruce, Family's Rick Grech and Winwood (whom he had attempted to recruit into Cream just prior to its demise). The hype surrounding this line-up insured sold-out performances to huge crowds on both sides of the Atlantic, even before any recordings had been released; but the attendant pressures ... insured that the group would not last, and the long American tour in particular had ground them down to a nub by the end of 1969, with only one eponymous studio album to show for their efforts. Clapton spent the remainder of the decade working with Delaney and Bonnie (a duo who had served as the opening act for Blind Faith), as well as spending a brief time as a member of the Plastic Ono Band. By 1970 he had relocated to New York City, where he brought in friends Leon Russell and Stephen Stills -- both of whom had already enlisted Clapton for their own projects -- to create his first solo effort, Eric Clapton. Once again the guitarist would find himself in the top 20, this time with a cover of the J. J. Cale song After Midnight.
