Review & Description
Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs Turns 40!
THE 2CD DELUXE EDITION features:
* Six exciting performances from what was to be Derek and the Dominos' second album, all remixed by the original session engineer, Andy Johns. The highlight of the six tracks is "Got To Get Better In A Little While" - the group's last recording - presented in this collection both as a mesmerizing jam version and as the i{not}rst-ever release of the fully produced studio version, finally completed by founding member Bobby Whitlock on keyboards and vocals.
* All four audio performances from Derek and the Domino's sole, historic television appearance on The Johnny Cash Show, November 9, 1970 - including Clapton's famous jam on "Matchbox Blues" with Cash and rockabilly legend Carl Perkins.
* The two tracks produced by Phil Spector in early summer 1970 that amounted to the first release by Derek and the Dominos: "Tell the Truth" and "Roll It Over," the A- and B-side of a single that was quickly pulled from circulation by the group.
* The Layla session out-take "Mean Old World": the legendary acoustic duet performed by Eric Clapton and Duane Allman.
