1 out of 5 stars The Eric Clapton Collection - maybe , maybe not, makes you wonder!.......2005-11-13

I recently bought this collection of 2 CD's from a store
Used but like new for $5.99 , I thought I had a real deal till
I played both the CD's, not once but three times assuming that
would like a lot of CD's sound better "kinda grow on you" so to speak , well they did't. They sound awfull. Eric Claption has always been one of my favorite Rock / Blues singers but I must have heard his better know songs. All the songs on both these CD's sound like they were recorded on a "Boom Box" you can hardly hear the vocals for the band. Makes you wonder what is going on with the people that put this CD collection out. They all sound very low quality. I do not recommend you buying this CD. Put your money into one of his better Cd's like the "Rainbow
Concert" I have never rated a CD on Amazon before, but felt this
one was so bad, that I needed to do something. Thanks

1 out of 5 stars What was he thinking?.......2003-12-02

Eric, me boyo, Why did you put your name to this waste of time? The pieces on this album, though purportedly a colection of your best work, sound.....shallow. Thin. Just plain long not good. Somebody made some money on this turkey. I was forced to give this a 1 star rating. That is too much for it. I really hope this one got in under your radar as I am sure such a talented musician as yourself would never have let this thing see the light of day

1 out of 5 stars OUCH!!.......2003-08-05

1 star is too high a rating for this turkey. Mr. Clapton, if you had anything to do with this, shame on you. I know this goober is going to the used CD bin quickly.

1 out of 5 stars This CD is a ripoff.......2003-01-20

If you want to hear vintage Clapton, do not buy this CD. Ol' Eric is hard to find on this deceptively labeled product. Mostly what you get are poorly recorded and mixed Yardbirds tunes. The drums dominate, followed by bass and vocals. Clapton is hard to hear or simply not there. There are no liner notes so the guitarist isn't even identified. Buyer beware!

1 out of 5 stars Can't judge THIS book by it's cover!!.......2003-01-03

Beware buyers!! This collection may have EC's picture on the cover but he no play the music!! Sounds like Chuck Berry meets Paul Revere and the Raiders meets every 60's garage band you ever heard. It is all ...disguised blues tunes played by who knows? There are no liner notes with this package, only EC's picture and song titles. Produced in England ...) and packaged under 'Dressed To Kill' record label. ...I am a big fan of the blues but, this was a MAJOR disappointment. There are alot of good songs on this package...
