Polydor/Chronicles 2004 deluxe edition reissue of Eric Claptons 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD (long considered one of Eric Claptons best solo albums, ranking alongside Eric Clapton and Slowhand as one of his finest studio efforts) expands the original ten-track album to two disks. The original album is supplemented by five session outtakes on the first disk, all of which have been previously released on other reissues: "Walkin Down the Road" appeared on 1996s Crossroads 2, "Aint That Lovin You" appeared on 1988s Crossroads, while "Meet Me (Down at the Bottom)" appeared on 1999s Blues and the other two tracks, "Eric After Hours Blues" and "B Minor Jam", appeared on the limited-edition bonus disk that came with the original release of Blues. All these sound like outtakes - theyre all a little too lazy and meandering to make a finished album, but fanatics will surely like all of these outtakes collected in one place and paired with the official album. The second disk compiles highlights from two concerts Eric Clapton gave at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on December 4 and 5, 1974. Here, Eric Clapton also sounds a little bit too laid back, particularly on the acoustic material, but he does have some fine moments scattered through the disk - perhaps not enough to satisfy anybody besides dedicated fans, but thats who the reissue is for, and theyll likely be satisfied with this nicely remastered, well-packaged set, even if it packs no revelations.
