Derek And The Dominos* – Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

I have a '70 pressing on Atco as well as this reissue and the reissue blows away the original in terms of sound stage, bass and volume, much less sibilance as well. Definitely a great buy if you find one in excellent shape.

Not the most crystal sound, but sounds more open and vivid than the 2018 repress. The colours of the front cover are darker too, but I like. Looks it has more details and feels much more like a painting. So bad at the time the album was released with only one disc (side C/D of the original double album). It could have been a very good press.

I´m not entirely happy with the MoFi SACD version. Clapton´s singing Layla from the dressing-room? I guess as it has been mentioned, this just wasn´t well recorded in the first place.

Never lisen this álbum in full, until now. Great songs, great sound, and the disc have a decent press. Only problem, the disc comes in paper sleeves and for that has scuffs, and some minimun clicks are noticiable in some parts (clean and put in rice sleeves). Beside that is a must have récord, and i buy New in a very low price.

This edition omitted several tracks from the original album, to reduce the costs of a double LP. The Brazilian record company did not believe in the sales of the album as originally released.

the mix on this is pretty good it does have some surface noise though fine placeholder for a mofi or original first pressing

Though I don't have other pressings to compare to...just the Eric Clapton Remasters CD and Tidal...the sound quality of this pressing seems pretty good to me. Vinyl is quiet and dynamic. Clarity/transparency and separation of instruments is just OK. I'm curious if the 2008 Polydor one is much better than this 1975 Japanese one but not so curious as to be willing lay down the cash. This one seems good enough. And, well, the music speaks for itself.

From Wikipedia-

The last track on the album, "Thorn Tree in the Garden", was recorded with Whitlock, Clapton, Allman, Radle and Gordon sitting in a circle around a single microphone.

Is there a general consensus referring to US release, as to which is preferred Polydor or Atco? It seems the two labels are unrelated? Is it odd that two separate labels released the album at the same time? Is it because of the members of the group being contracted to different labels? Thanks for any help on this subject.

Anyone else find this pressing to be lacking in volume?
I have a Polydor reissue that blows this away.
