CD Description
Containing such cultural staples from throughout his illustrious career as 'Sunshine Of Your Love', 'I Shot The Sheriff' and 'Layla', 'Complete Clapton' is a reminder of the influence Eric Clapton has had on popular music. Collecting work from his earliest incarnations in Cream and The Yardbirds and finishing with his most popular solo recordings, this release displays the range of styles Clapton became proficient in. Notable recordings here include 'Tears In Heaven' (used in the film 'Rush') and his version of Bob Dylan's 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door', as well as tracks from his MTV Unplugged session.

Customer Reviews

So it's not ACTUALLY complete...well duh!
For this really to be COMPLETE, it would have to be everything that Eric Clapton has ever recorded, something it obviously isn't. Perhaps the title is wrong, but 'Greatest Hits' is rather hackneyed.

Most of those posting unfavourable reviews are complaining either that it's not complete or that one or two of their favourite tracks are not on it. Dear oh dear. How spoon-fed we seem to have become.

So what IS on it? Precisely what a half-sensible person might expect: many of his best-known tracks, spanning his entire career, including Layla, Wonderful Tonight, Tears in Heaven, Cocaine, Lay Down Sally...I mean, come on! What's the problem? I could get all grouchy that one of my favourites, Hoochie Coochie Man, isn't on it - but it's on other Clapton CDs. I think I can live with that.

This is an excellent introduction for the novice and a great collection for the fan.

birthday present
My son knowing I am and always will be a huge Clapton fan, bought this for my last birthday (I don't mean my LAST bithday, I am hoping to have many more!) I would not have gone and purchased this myself, as within my CD collection I have all of these tracks and could have made up this compilation myself. Having said that it is a good collection (how many Clapton collections have there been over the years?). The two discs represent a reasonable selection of the mans work, although I would have liked some of his early stuff with John Mayall and even The Yardbirds, perhaps Blind Faith, just to round the collection out. I played it in the car and it is a great driving companion, even though I know all the tracks well, thay are great songs and just remind you once again what a tremendous guitarist and vocalist Eric was and is. "Clapton is God" well in rock music yes he is one of them!

A good intro to a guitar legend
There's no way that this album can hope to cover all of Clapton's career -but this is a good introduction to his style.

There are the classics that everybody associates with him - such as Layla, and I shot the sherrif, but there are some other gems on this album as well, such as the real tear jerker Tears in Heaven, and the thought provoking Cocaine.

All in all, a good album, and one that I am more than happy to say has taken residence in my car (as well as being copied onto my MP3 player!)
