It's very understated even by the standard of Clapton solo albums but it's grown on me over almost forty years. Probably my second favourite of his after '461 Ocean Boulevard.'

First heard this guy on Radio2's mid morning show when Gary Davies was standing in recently. Wow, what a voice what a story teller ! Hardly prolific only four albums in 8 years but the two I have are both great !

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

It's the sort of thing that I might have bought from a charity shop for 50p.
Most of the charity shop purchases I make remain, but occasionally there is one I don't like, so it goes back. At that price, I can afford a few mistakes.

Original 1983 CD release which as usual is the release with the highest dynamic range - £3.50 delivered!
None of this taking whatever crap remaster the streaming service see fit to give you here.
People are going to wake up to this one day so get them while they're still cheap.
Case is a bit worse for wear but I have brand new replacements.

Yeah, I went off Amazon reviews, which rated it to be better than the following album (Caracal), which I already have and find a bit meh. Better than meh is not exactly a glowing recommendation, and I should have kept me three quid in me pocket.

I was quite pleased to find a copy of that amongst my stepdad's old crap last month, then disappointed to see that the CD inside was a CD-R with what looks like a six year-old's attempt to write Michael Jackson in magic marker on the disc

I remember my stepdad had a phase of copying stuff off tinternet, using a file-haring site with the name Lime something or other. I'll not bother trying it.

Why not? Either the CD-R disc will sound OK, or it won't.
