Eric Clapton & Duane Allman- 1970-08-27 Criteria Studios, Miami, FL (2 CD) [FLAC]

 

"Tom Dowd is responsible for introducing Duane Allman and Eric Clapton. In 1970, Dowd was in the middle of recording the Allman Brother's second album, Idlewild South, when Eric's manager (Robert Stigwood) called to tell Tom that Eric would like to bring his new band, Derek and the Dominos, to Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida to record with him.

Tom later recounted the phone call that began it all. Now when the call came I was in the studio with Duane. I said, Hey, that's a hot one, kid! That was Eric Clapton's management talking about him coming here to record. Allman looks at me and goes You mean the guy from Cream? Do you think he'd mind if I just came to watch. I told him, no problem.

Eric and the rest of the Dominos arrived at Criteria Studios in late August. During the first week, most of the studio time was spent jamming and piecing together new songs."

UFO - Will the Last Man Standing (Turn Out the Light): The Best of UFO (2019/FLAC)

 For a band with 23 studio albums, 15 live albums and 18 ‘collections’ of songs in various forms already out there its hard to see why another UFO collection is warranted. Anniversaries though are always times for old labels to cash in and Chrysalis (sold to EMI in 1991 , then bought by Universal and subsequently sold to Warners in 2013 before being bought by Blue Raincoat Music in 2016) are no doubt looking at the 50th Anniversary to shift a few more units.

2019 of course sees both the band’s 50th Anniversary and Phil Mogg’s last shows as a frontman, but it’s still unsure at present whether UFO as an entity will continue after Mogg hangs up his ‘tap shoes’ (as he might say). The interesting thing of course is that Chrysalis only had the band for the period of 1973-1985 and whilst that is considered by many to be the bands peak for a 50th anniversary collection there’s another 38 years unaccounted for!
