Derek and the Dominos- Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs-2xLP

Derek and the Dominos’ Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs stands out for its blend of raw emotion and blues-rock craftsmanship, with "Layla" itself becoming a touchstone for heartfelt guitar-driven storytelling. The album captures Eric Clapton’s impassioned songwriting alongside memorable tracks like "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?", offering a deeply personal glimpse into love and longing. The 14-track lineup presents a rich mix of originals and covers, including a poignant take on "Little Wing," making this record a substantial chapter in the band's brief but impactful catalog. This 1977 reissue on RSO Records keeps the original tracklist intact and was pressed by Keel Manufacturing Corporation, marked by the '53' on the label rim text—a detail that helps separate it from other versions. The vinyl shines with a glossy surface showing only minor paper scuffs or faint lines typical of careful use, ensuring a listening experience that’s enjoyable without surprises. Collectors might appreciate how this pressing balances the warmth of a vintage reissue with the practicality of a mid-’70s production—proof that sometimes love songs come with a side of solid pressing craftsmanship.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
