At 70 years old, Eric Clapton wants to remind you why he was induced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times. This double-CD compilation features 19 studio-recorded songs on Disc One, and 14 live tracks on Disc Two.

If you feel like your Clapton collection is missing essentials like Tears In Heaven, My Father’s Eyes and Change The World; then you should pick this up. Disc Two features live versions of White Room, Wonderful Tonight (did you know the song was inspired by ex-wife Pattie Boyd, who was married to George Harrison?), Layla and Badge.
