NewsEric Clapton / The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Volume 1
12LP vinyl box set
Next month Warners will release a new Eric Clapton vinyl box set called The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Volume 1.
The 12LP vinyl box contains six newly remastered studio albums issued between 1983 and 1998. They are:
- Money & Cigarettes (1983)
- Behind The Sun (1985) 2LP gatefold
- August (1986) 2LP gatefold
- Journeyman (1989) 2LP gatefold
- From The Cradle (1994) 2LP gatefold
- Pilgrim (1998) – 2LP gatefold
Additionally, a bonus LP, Rarities Volume 1 (1983-1998) brings together eight rare recordings from this era. Two of these are previously unreleased including a Simon Climie remix of ‘Pilgrim’. Other tracks include live versions of ‘White Room’ and ‘Crossroads’ (from the B-side on the 1987 single ‘Behind The Mask’ and ‘Theme From A Movie That Never Happened’ (Orchestral)’ which was the B-side to ‘My Father’s Eyes’ from 1998.
All the music included in this set was mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering and the lacquers for the LPs were cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
You’ll notice there are a lot of 2LP sets in this box. Behind The Sun and August were originally released as single vinyl records but are both are now 2LP sets (“to maximise the audio quality”), although the label have done that annoying thing of making both of them 3-sided double albums which means you are paying for ‘blank’ sides (it’s not clear if they are etched or not).
The vinyl is at least housed in poly-lined sleeves and the box is a two-piece construction. The Complete Reprise Studio Albums Volume 1. is released on 30 September 2022, via Warner Music Group.
