| Super Classic
If you can't rate this a 5 you don't like Clapton. This has some of his best music ever. Maybe not as bluesy and fast as other efforts, but play the songs on guitar and look at the arrangements. If you can play like EC you will understand why he is the Slowhand.

| Oldie But Goooodie
Remember listening to this album on 8-track tape in a buddies car.Cocaine was the featured song and was being played everywhere.After listening through the whole tape another song stuck out even more than the rest of Claptons Gems."The Core" ,which is hard to find on any other of Clapton's work is by far the most obscure and favorite of mine.A must for all early Clapton music lovers.

| An inconsistent effort from Clapton
OK, I'm a Clapton fan, and I know this album is regarded by many as one of his best. I agree with this to an extent: "Cocaine" is phenomenal; it makes Cale's version pale into insignificance! And "Wonderful Tonight" must be one of the sweetest ballads ever written. "Peaches and Diesel" is a particular favourite of mine; I think it is the quintessential mellow track that allows Clapton to make his guitar 'gently weep' whilst "Mean Old Frisco" is again another example of the lowdown dirty blues that few white men can perform well - in fact Clapton, Cale, Mayall, Page and Vaughan are the only artists that can do justice to the blues. HOWEVER, the other tracks on this album are non-events; they really don't have much to them. "Slowhand" has its moments, but then it crashes and burns with some terribly pedestrian and boring tracks like "We're all the way" (which is probably one of the worst songs Clapton has ever done). It's an inconsistent album overall; going from phenomanally good to the opposite extreme.

| Classic!
Slowhand is one of the better albums to come out of the music rich seventies. From the love serenades "Woderful Tonight", and "May You Never" to the eye-opening performance on "Core", this is, from top to bottom, Eric Clapton at his best! Kick back and enjoy!

| E.C. at his best
Slowhand is the disc to have to enjoy Eric Clapton before his "renewal" of is roots. The SACD Hybrid is crisp and clean. All of the tracks are solid, but "The Core" really kicks.
