Eric Clapton - 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Eric Clapton (Eco-Friendly Packaging)

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®. Album Description

The Good Old Days

Great times, great songs, great singer. I really enjoyed this cd. It's great to have his best on one cd. The eco-friendly packaging is cool too. February 15, 2008

Great CD!

There is no question in my mind that Eric Clapton is an amazing musician. I think he would have to be among the top ten musicians in the era of 1960-Present. In one ranking of the top guitarists of all time, he placed 4th.

This album is terrific. While it is rather brief (not really geared towards long trademark guitar solos), it really shows Eric's talent and the diversity of the music he's played.

I highly recommend this!

Very Disappointing

Even for $6.88 at Sam's Club, this Millennium Collection CD was no bargain. It's so bad I couldn't even finish listening to it! Where did they get these cuts? They sound so muddy and poorly mixed that they must have been practice session tapes retrieved from the dumpster. The various instruments and voices keep fading in & out so you can't follow the music. Plus, the tempos and overall sounds are very different from the "definitive" versions most of us think of. I never thought it was possible to mess up a Clapton song, but UMI proved me wrong. And the liner notes? --None in this cardboard packaged "green" version. February 28, 2007

Eric Clapton Millenium collection

Argh, another Clapton compilation!? Yes, but it is a fine one this time. Very good sound - especially on the Derek tracks.

I have a lot of EC compilations, but this one is rated among the best.
