#226 Derek and the Dominos, 'Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs' (1970)

The legend going around for years was that an announcer mistakenly announced Eric & The Dynamos as Derek and the Dominos. In reality, Clapton had just finished up with supergroups Cream and Blind Faith, and wanted to be a bit anonymous. At the time, the 25-year-old Clapton was a heavy heroin addict and was infatuated with his best mate, George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd. How obsessed, you might ask? Enough to record a 14-track album about her.
