THE VAULTS / CD REISSUES : Eric Clapton, “The Cream of Clapton.” A&M.; *** 1/2
In the past decade, Eric Clapton has been largely in a cruise mode. These 19 songs, from the mid-’60s to the early ‘80s, show the rock singer-guitarist when he was really good. Along with some of his better solo tunes, these Cream, Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos gems put his post-1985 output to shame.
