It was Eric Clapton’s most successful release of the 1970’s and stayed on the charts for over a year and a half – Slowhand. This year marks the 35 anniversary of this iconic album. To celebrate, Clapton is doing the ever popular remastered mulit-version re-release.

With songs like Cocaine, Lay Down Sally, and Wonderful Tonight, it is easy to see why this album has really stood the test of time. Let’s face it, you can’t turn on a classic rock station these days without hearing one of these righteous tunes.

We all know the drill on how these seem to go these days. The album will be available in 5 different formats, each offering a little more Clapton crack. Start saving, these will all be available on November 26^th.
