1982 greatest hits album by Eric Clapton
Timepieces: The Best of Eric Clapton is a greatest hits album by British musician Eric Clapton . The album was originally released by RSO /Polydor Records in April 1982 (see 1982 in music ). The following year a second volume, Time Pieces Vol.II Live in the Seventies , was released by the label. The album has been reissued several times and has been awarded certifications in several regions. Billboard reported the album sold more than 13,400,000 copies worldwide.[1]
Background and compilation [ edit ]
In 1982, Eric Clapton left RSO and Polydor to form his own label, Duck Records , with distribution through Warner Bros. With the loss of the artist, the two Time Pieces albums were compiled and released.[2]
The songs on the album were all released as singles, with only one song—"Knockin' on Heaven's Door "—having never been released on an RSO album. A large number of songs on the release were either from 461 Ocean Boulevard or Slowhand ,[2] while none of the songs were released on No Reason to Cry or Another Ticket . The original vinyl and cassette releases contained the live version of "Cocaine" from the 1980 release "Just One Night"; the later CD issue deleted this for the studio version from "Slowhand", and also included the song "Let It Grow" from "461 Ocean Boulevard".
A 7-times Platinum RIAA certification for the album.
