Comment

* found on the Crossroads box set
** as this is just acoustic guitar and vocal, there is not much of a new mix involved



From Marc Roberty’s “The Complete Recording Sessions”

‘Three mixes of the album exist and all are remarkably different. The finished product that was released was mixed by Atlantic’s Tom Dowd.

Eric Clapton: I left the tapes in L.A. for Delaney to mix them, and he was waiting on me to finish one of the tracks! And he didn’t realize that I was waiting on him to mix the tracks and send them over. Finally, my manager got kind of impatient and told Atlantic to send the tapes to me, and I mixed them very badly. Atlantic heard them , didn’t like ‘em. Then they sent them to Tom Dowd, who mixed them again. So they were mixed three times in all. Naturally, I never heard Delaney’s mixes until it was too late – the record was already out.

Having heard all three, I would say Delaney’s was the best, giving Eric’s guitar a more prominent sound.’
