1972 greatest hits album by Eric Clapton
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [1]
Eric Clapton at His Best Eric Clapton 's work after he left his earlier band Cream , released in September 1972. It was concurrently released with a two-LP compilation of Cream tracks, Heavy Cream Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker .
Although available in other territories as well, Eric Clapton at His Best was largely released to address the North American market, in order for Polydor Records to leverage Clapton's back catalog as, prior to 1972, Polydor had licensed Clapton's recordings to Atco /Atlantic Records for North American distribution. It was the first of two compilations of Clapton's early work that Polydor would issue; the second, Clapton Eric Clapton at His Best was available during the years 1972-76.
The album contains songs from Clapton's lone album with his 1969 band Blind Faith , his eponymous 1970 album , and from the lone studio album by Clapton's 1970-71 band Derek and the Dominos , Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
