ABOUT THE RECORD Unplugged, a live album by Eric Clapton, was recorded live in England for the MTV Unplugged series and includes both the hit single Tears in Heaven (#2 Billboard Hot 100) and a heavily reworked acoustic version of Layla (#12 Billboard Hot 100). Clapton performed the show in front of a small audience on 16 January 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. Clapton played a Martin 000-42 acoustic guitar for much of this performance, and in 2004, the guitar sold for US$791,500 (£434,400) in auction. Clapton earned six Grammy Awards for the album including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Rock Male Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song. Tears in Heaven earned three of the six awards. The album reached number one on the Billboard 200, and has been certified Diamond by the RIAA for shipping over 10 million copies in the United States. In 2000 Q magazine placed Unplugged at number 71 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums. In October 2011, the album was ranked number nine (between Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark and Stone Temple Pilots' Core) on Guitar World magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1992. Commenting on the popularity of the album in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton wishes the reader to understand its great emotional toll he experienced around that time, to do so, he suggests that they visit the grave of his son Conor in Ripley.
