Unplugged

Clapton fanboy, so there is your grain of salt. now for the vinyl review of this remastered masterpiece. the original CD of this performance was stellar. Clapton has always had excellent sound engineers, both live and in studio. to give you an idea of the quality of his sound engineers the CD is still used as the reference for "HD Audio" downloads (16bit/44.1kHz). so the background for quality is set. recently this concert was remastered and YES it is noticeable. the soundstage is wider, his voice has more detail/warmth, each note from all instruments can be heard as if you were there in the middle of the set. Clapton is the inspiration for me, and countless others, picking up the guitar. i have the same Martin model he used with his line of martin strings. i can play all of his songs and the sound is close (tonally, not as clean or accurately) but with this vinyl it is as close to being there, again even better than the digital. as with any music there are certain things you just can't compromise on. first the artist has to use quality recording gear, then the studio has to master it correctly. this has been perfect on this album. next you have to ensure your part of the audio chain is up to snuff to get the best out of it. IMO speakers can overcome other areas that may be lacking, but you don't have to spend thousands to achieve quality sound. next is the play back device. for Vinyl a quality cartridge can make a huge difference, again you don't have to go super expensive. lastly the amp should be decent, and most amps these days are more than capable. now if you have a good setup then this vinyl 4 record set should really really be in your collection. my set-up; elac B6 speakers (14 gauge wire speaker cable) u-turn orbit with ortofon 2M red custom made phono pre-amp (i know how to make them but any good pre-amp will be fine) Denon AVR-1912 with "pure direct" mode for phono (this bypasses all digital paths and just amplifies the analog signal from the pre-amp) if you have better equipment i'm jealous, because i know this album can sound phenomenal.

I love this CD! Great acoustic blues rock.

Wow... the last few vinyl releases that I’ve picked up from the Reprise label have been stunningly great. This is a great vinyl release. A double album gatefold edition on 180g ultra quiet vinyl. The cover fit and finish is fantastic as well. These unplugged events for MTV were well recorded. This Clapton album has a full spectrum sound quality to it. It is clear in the highs, mid range is just right and the lows are impressive for a record. Each track has been mixed well and the master is flawless with an open soundstage and clarity in voices and instruments. Running on Faith really shines and stands out, Layla is better than being there, and the blues numbers are just entertaining. Signe is also one of my favorite tracks that really shines. It deserves 5 stars and if you’re considering it on vinyl, you can’t go wrong here. It was a landmark night with a great crowd that became a legend and is now larger than life on vinyl!

Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" was a classic album when it first hit the charts and hasn't slowed down since. This new double lp sounds fantastic and is well worth the money paid.

Good price, great cd. Bought as a gift for my uncle. Happy with this purchase

This was one of my favorite CDs back in the 90s and now having the vinyl on my 2 channel system is just superb. This is one of the best sounding records I have and is truly a joy to just sit back and close your eyes.....I feel like I'm on the front row. The separation of instruments is perfect and placed just as they were on stage. The sound stage is very important to my listening experience and Eric's voice being off to the right a bit first had me wondering, but when you watch the videos, he was a bit off center. All the instruments are just so natural and live sounding. Some reissue albums are taken from the wrong source and sound flat, but not here. Don't hesitate, this is a MUST have for any record collection.

I recently got back in vinyl again. EC Unplugged was great when it came out and is still to this day. I won't bore you with the details of the music that's been reviewed many times over the years. I bought this on Amazon because I wanted it on vinyl and I found a new/used copy with a discounted price so I jumped at it. When the package arrived I knew right away why this was labeled new/used. The bottom corner of the record sleeve was bent and slightly smushed. I opened the package and took out the LPs and they were completely fine. The record sleeve has a bend on one corner and the LPs play 100% fine-no biggie to me. I got this set at a discounted price so it was an all-around good deal.

I have a very revealing stereo and this CD is among the best recordings that I have. The fact that it is live is even more impressive. This is the 2nd cd that I have very recently purchased used in good condition from Tuscon Goodwill and they have both arrived in very good condition.

I'd been meaning to buy Unplugged for a long time but something else always comes up till I bought , saw My Life in 12 Bars , Unplugged won two Grammy awards , I was looking for the DVD & CD Combo and finally able to buy the single CD from an Amazon Au's seller consisting of 14 of his best songs playing awesome acoustic Guitar and 61 minutes long recorded live in front of a small audience UK .

Top. Sehr schnell und gut gepolstert geliefert. Second Hand Zustand sehr gut wie beschrieben

Le cd est arrivé en bon état, neuf et bien emballé néanmoins la livraison en France a été assuré par colis Privé et c'est une vrai catastrophe ce transporteur ! C'est dommage, le vendeur est réactif aux demandes tt de même.

Very good album and for me next to Ocean boulevard one of the best albums of Eric Clapton.

Excellent vinyl et son parfait
