THE DELUXE EDITION features:

• Six exciting performances from what was to be Derek and the Dominos’ second album, all remixed by the original session engineer, Andy Johns. The highlight of the six tracks is “Got To Get Better In A Little While” – the group’s last recording – presented in this collection both as a mesmerizing jam version and as the first-ever release of the fully produced studio version, finally completed by founding member Bobby Whitlock on keyboards and vocals.

• All four audio performances from Derek and the Domino’s sole, historic television appearance on The Johnny Cash Show, November 9, 1970 – including Clapton’s famous jam on “Matchbox Blues” with Cash and rockabilly legend Carl Perkins.

• The two tracks produced by Phil Spector in early summer 1970 that amounted to the first release by Derek and the Dominos: “Tell the Truth” and “Roll It Over,” the A- and B-side of a single that was quickly pulled from circulation by the group and has long been unavailable.

• High-fidelity, 180-gram reproduction of the original vinyl double album, remastered directly from the original master session reels, featuring slightly alternate mixes of some songs.

The SUPER DELUXE EDITION additionally includes:

• Newly remastered and expanded 2-CD set of Derek and the Dominos: In Concert, recorded at the Fillmore East and remastered from the original master tapes.

• DTS 5.1 and Dolby Surround 5.1 versions of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, mixed by legendary engineer Elliot Scheiner.

• A hardcover book, artfully designed with rare and never-seen photographs, and featuring four meticulously researched essays by noted music historian and author Ashley Kahn fashioned from new interviews with Bobby Whitlock, Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, engineer Andy Johns, producer Albhy Galuten, guitarist Derek Trucks; plus historic interviews with Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, and producer Tom Dowd.

• Facsimiles of Derek and the Dominos concert tickets and various promotional items, including the famous “Derek is Eric” button created to assure fans of the identity of the group’s lead singer and guitarist.

• Pop-up 3-D artwork and a high quality Layla art print based on the oil painting that graced the original album cover – “La Fille Au Bouquet” by Emile Theodore Frandsen de Schomberg – which has achieved cultural significance in its own right.

Dear Eric,

Take my $90. Please. This is probably one of the only albums where I want the whole box of stuff.

Deluxe Edition $22 @ Amazon
Super Deluxe $89 @ Amazon

Eh, I have the previous remastered edition. That's fine for me.

might be in for the 2xLP version

This is probably my all-time favorite album. Yet I don't really feel the need for this collection - the previous 3-disc release with all the outtakes and jams is more than enough to satisfy me. I feel like this is just scraping the bottom of the barrel for extra cash, not worthy of my time or money.

I have the Mobile Fidelity Sound gold CD and the SACD reissue in 5.1. Think I'm good on this album.

Interesting tho that none of the re-issued Derek & The Dominos albums have those 5 songs of theirs that appeared on the Eric Clapton, "Crossroads" box-set:

Got to Get Better in a Little While, Evil, One More Chance, Mean Old Frisco, and Snake Lake Blues.

sigh. again?

I see the new trend is burying the 5.1 DTS and Dolby surround disks in overpriced box sets so you can't buy them seperately. Sucks.

I stand corrected!

I'm definitely in for the Deluxe Edition. I'm excited to hear the Phil Spector single.

Interesting.

I love "Layla" the song (The album's great too), but it's hard not to think of dead people in a garbage compactor or a meat locker when I hear the second half of it now!

Someday when I have $ I'd love to check it out for the rarities.

I saw Clapton last year....he didn't play Layla. Sonofabitch ignored the 30,000 people chanting for it as an encore and didn't play it. I still haven't gotten over it.

is the Super Deluxe Edition currently OOP? I can't seem to find it on amazon...

Yes from what I read on another forum it appears it went out of print about a week after it's release (kind of like the Who Live at Leeds set did a few months back). I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon and it's a great set if you love the album (one of my top three all time).
