Focusing on the trilogy of albums from the mid-to-late '80s, "Behind the Sun," "August," and "Journeyman," in which Clapton underwent a series of stylistic transformations that laid the groundwork for his greatest commercial success, this program will examine Eric Clapton's work from 1980 to 1989, a decade that has been described as a slump, and its true value, from the perspective of both his recordings and live performances.
In addition, the book also includes archived pin-ups from the 1970s filled with unused shots to show what Clapton looked like before his transformation, a collection of records and memorabilia including rare items, a compilation of quotes and columns from each year, and profiles of musicians who were closely associated with Clapton in the 1980s.
