Album Number Two Hundred Twenty Two “Slowhand” is the fifth full-length studio album by Eric Clapton. Released on 25 November 1977 by #RSORecords and titled after Clapton's nickname, it is one of his most commercially and critically successful studio albums. #Slowhand produced the two hit singles "Lay Down Sally" and "Wonderful Tonight", reached various international music charts and was honoured with numerous awards and recording certifications. My copy is a gatefold on RSO Records - RS 1-3030 (the album cover suffered some water damage, though, but the vinyl is in good shape.) #ericClapton wanted to work with record producer #GlynJohns, because he thought Johns produced great work with famous groups like the #rollingstones and #theeagles and understood how to work with both British and American musicians. While in the studio with Johns, Clapton noted that the A-list producer was very disciplined and disliked jamming, because it would kill important recording time. Although Clapton and his band were intoxicated nearly all the time when recording, Johns liked Clapton's work and brought out the best in every musician, according to Clapton. #rockandroll #the70s #seventiesmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CXjFyAZrXQE/?utm_medium=tumblr
