By Paul Sinclair

Warners/Rhino will release, Forever Man, a new Eric Clapton ‘best of’ at the end of next month that spans three decades of Clapton’s Reprise Records years.

Forever Man takes its title from the single lifted from Clapton’s 1985 album Behind the Sun and is available as two-CD and two-LP configurations with the first disc focusing on studio cuts and the second on live material, including three tracks from 1992’s Unplugged performance. A three-CD deluxe edition adds third blues-themed CD.

Forever Man is out on 28 April in North America and will follow a few weeks later in Europe.
