Finally, Slowhand comes to hi-resolution format. I have heard multiple CD versions from the original to the Gold Disc to the remastered, but this new SACD version just blows the rest away. Slowhand has always been my favourite Clapton album over the years. Classic Clapton originals like Lay Down Sally and Wonderful Tonight define his style and songwriting capabilities and singing. His voice has an aching and tender reach on the ballads, and yet bluesy growl on the fast tracks. From 461 and Slowhand, Clapton began to rely less on his guitar prowess on albums, but move towards stronger songwriting and singing to establish his albums, and Slowhand is the best example of it. And yet, his taste for covers cannot be faulted either. Dusting off JJ Cale's Cocaine and William's We're With YOu All the Way shows how he can choose the right material to augment his own songs, until they blend into a seamless piece of excellent work. Ending the album with an instrumental ballad that recalls the piano coda to Layla, Slowhand remains his best and most focused work over the years. And throw in a great guitar jam in the epic Core, you get a Clapton masterwork that is as timeless now as it was commercially and critically successful during its original release almost 30 years ago. Listening to the 5.1 mix by the original producer, Glyn Johns did a superb work. Although some has commented the mix sounds muddy, its actually not and its true to its original sound. Its natural and spatial mix and creative surround mixing by Johns gives this classic a new dimension that was not there before. The electric solos now sound more alive and kicking and even the tender fender licks that kick off Wonderful Tonight sounds so much there and enveloping. Its the drums that has a tendency to sound muddled underneath and the strong bass levels that gives the muddy impression. BUt '70s recordings tend to be presented in such fashion and listening it over again, the surround mix is just perfect and natural. Compared to the bright but not as creative surround mix of 461, this is far superior in the end. - Ian Low

SHIPPING RATES The Shipping category is found at the bottom of the description of the item above the Review and track info. The price of each shipping category for your country you will find below in the shipping rates and also on our web site. ABBREVIATIONS USED IN LISTING HEADINGS:
OOP = OUT OF PRINT
HTF = HARD TO FIND
s/t = SAME TITLE
JPN = JAPANESE
IMP = IMPORT

IMPORT INFORMATION:
Any CD that says in the description "import" JAPANESE or otherwise is in ENGLISH as the regular Domestic ones are. The lyrics and artwork are all the same and in english. They are usually more desirable due to the superior mastering on a lot of them.
REMASTERED INFORMATION:
Any CD that says REMASTERED means that it is the original recordings but they have been REMASTERED. In other words they have usually taken the ORIGINAL LABEL MASTER TAPES and REMASTERED them into the digital format for FAR SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY. A lot of the older CD's had been rushed released and they used poor quality reference masters. The newer Remasters not only benifit from the original first generation mix-down masters but the newer technology in equipment that is available recently has improved the sound quality dramatically. These are NOT re-recordings. They are the original recordings.
H D C D INFORMATION:
This is a format in CD mastering that improves on sound quality and adds to the band width available. Any CD that says H D C D plays on any CD player but sounds even better on a player with H D C D compatibility.
I do not sell CDR's so anything you are bidding on is a regular retail CD. if you are worried.
