Eric Clapton‘s 1977 album Slowhand is being released as a super deluxe edition box set to celebrate its 35th anniversary.
The album includes of two of Clapton’s best known songs Wonderful Tonight, and the cover of J.J. Cale’s Cocaine.
The Super Deluxe box set includes three previously unreleased session outtakes (four in total) and two CDs are devoted to presenting the complete 14-track performance of the Hammersmith Odeon concert on 27 April 1977.
The record has been remastered from the original Olympic Studios 1/4″ flat analog master tapes and the session tracks and live performances are newly mixed from the original two-inch analogue tapes. This all sounds very promising from a sound perspective.

Disc 3 – Live at the Hammersmith Odeon April 27, 1977 (Part 1)
