Complete Clapton

I’m not the only one that worships Clapton. IG Blog has a post up talking about Clapton’s forthcoming release, Complete Clapton, which is, as you guessed, basically a “best of.” From what I understand though, it’s not so much a greatest hits, rather it’s a collection of some of his best work spanning his entire career, including songs which were and weren’t hits.

A true representation of who, exactly, Clapton is.

To go with it, he’s releasing his long awaited autobiography, entitled, also Complete Clapton (Or, Eric Clapton, the Autobiography depending on where you look.) As IG nicely enough shared with everyone, the Times Online has an excerpt from the book, covering his affair Patti Boyd and his slip in Heroin abuse. He’s led, without a doubt, an amazing life.

There’s even an official trailer up:

That trailer is bloody well put together.

I’m excited about it.

It’s all being released on October 9 (in the UK.)

I can’t wait.

    Glad to know he’s back and playing his guitar. I think it’s funny though, that comebacks like these are always guitarists. I seriously have never seen this kind of comeback from drummers in mainstream music.

    By the way, have you heard of Marine Stern? She’s got awesome finger-tapping/shredding skills so you might want to have a listen.

    He never stopped. He’s always out touring, performing, and has had a few albums out in recent years ;)

    Came to NZ earlier in the year. I nearly cried when I didn’t get tickets.

    Scalped ones were going for as much as a small house.

    Well, not quite. But you get the idea.
