Legend has it that, after hearing this beautifully poetic and under-adorned masterpiece of simple elegance and elegant simplicity, Eric Clapton decided to give up on heavy electric blues (Cream- style) altogether , and never looked back. Indeed, after 1969 we find him singing and playing southern soul, reggae, pop, disco, hard rock , techno-pop and whatnot, but we no longer get to hear him play 9-minute guitar solos. The impact that this, Band’s second album (and a truly historical relic - in more ways than one), exerted on Rock world surely cannot be overestimated. It proved to the world at large that Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Hawkins and John Hammond,jr. were not crazy when they opted to be backed by THE Band. Both songwriting and musical execution are exquisite; the album contains some of the best - and most memorable - Rock songs ever written and played, and represents one of top-20 best albums of all times. This is the original 1969 pressing of the album, on the original Capitol lime-green label, and is offered here in a beautiful condition. Don’t fail to grab this piece of history. Track listing: Across The Great Divide - Rag Mama Rag - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - When You Awake - Up On Cripple Creek - Whispering Pines - Jemima Surrender - Rockin' Chair - Look Out Cleveland - Jawbone - The Unfaithful Servant - King Harvest (Has Surely Come) .

This is a rare opportunity to acquire this great album in its FINEST audio format, no longer in print, and no longer easily obtainable.
