	Crossroads (box set) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crossroads is music collection box set by Eric Clapton.
		Released in 1988, when only superstars were granted the box set, Crossroads became the blueprint for what such a retrospective should be.

	Boxed set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A boxed set (now often referred to as a box set) is one or more musical recordings, films, television programs, or other collection of related things that are contained in a box.
		In the case of music, boxed sets are usually made up of three or more discs, covering a broad range of the music of a given artist or genre.

		Rather than a larger scale, well dressed greatest hits package, as some box sets essentially are, we hoped to unify a number of previously unreleased tracks with some great studio recordings and live performances which had fallen out of print and were no longer readily available to Jimi's fans.
		The vinyl box maintains the same design as the CD set, but the 40-page booklet is now 12" x 12," which allows the images to be larger throughout.
		With the box set, we not only were able to complete that task, making available songs such as the studio version of "Star Spangled Banner" which had never been issued on CD, but we also got to showcase a host of great tracks which had not yet been issued.

	Crossroads 2
		While the first release entitled Crossroads is a career retrospective, this album is primarily a showcase of his live performances tour by tour between 1974 and 1978.
		Throughout this box set most of his classics from 461 Ocean Blvd. and Slowhand are included and rarely disappoint.
		Clapton's core back-up band is similar throughout the box set, with some differences from tour to tour that are noted within the track list.

	Eric Clapton: Crossroads
		A four-disc box set spanning Eric Clapton's entire career -- running from the Yardbirds to his '80s solo recordings -- Crossroads not only revitalized Clapton's commerical standing, but it established the rock & roll multi-disc box set retrospective as a commercially viable proposition.
		Crossroads manages to sum up Clapton's career succinctly and thoroughly, touching upon all of his hits and adding a bevy of first-rate unreleased material (most notably selections from the scrapped second Derek & the Dominos album).
		Although not all of his greatest performances are included on the set -- none of this work as a session musician or guest artist is included, for instance -- every truly essential item he recorded is present on these four discs.

		If you are restoring an earlier version of a content box that is still on your poster, the content you are restoring will replace the current content (however, the current content is also archived, and can be restored if you change your mind).

	The Music Box: Eric Clapton - Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies (Album - Box Set Review)
		Crossroads 2, the sequel to his career retrospective Crossroads, captures the guitarist from the point of his return in May 1974 through the end of December 1978.
		However, as evidenced from the tracks on this four-disc set, Clapton's live performances had something to please just about everyone, including stunning guitar solos, raging renditions of classic blues selections, and some of the best tunes that he has ever composed.
		Unlike the Crossroads compilation, most of the material contained on Crossroads 2 was previously unreleased, and those songs that were available appear here with a different mix.

		Crossroads unfortunately helped set off a boom of box sets where everyone had a box set released, even marginal bands like ELO and Kansas.
		In spite of that, Crossroads is everything a box set should be and is a worthy retrospective of a legend's career.
		Box sets are a nice way to get a true picture of an artist and one with as many side projects as Clapton it becomes a neccessity if you want to get a true picture of the man's talent.

		For casual collectors, at least, Clapton's brief stint with The Yardbirds is adequately represented by nine cuts on the excellent Crossroads box set, although Five Live Yardbirds nicely surveys The Yardbirds' legacy as a rave-up band.
		The Cream box set (two discs covering the band's complete studio output plus two live ones demonstrating its improvisational power) along with Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs are also essential acquisitions.
		Mosaic has sold out of its 18-disc set of the trio recordings, so completists who are just discovering Cole's music may be deeply frustrated.

		The box set has widened the gulf between the regular listener and the fanatic.
		Looking at the Ellington set's paltry sales, 600 copies at last count, it might as well have been produced for the critics buying it at a discount or judges sure to give RCA a Grammy for liner notes.
		The modern box as I define it -- multiple CDs with unreleased rarities, demos and/or outtakes -- is a different creature, driven by the ability to cram 80 minutes of music on a single disc just five inches in diameter.

	Crossroads by Eric Clapton CD
		CROSSROADS is a 25th Anniversary retrospective of Eric Clapton's career, spanning 1963-1987.
		All of the set's 73 songs have been digitally remastered for this release; in most cases, the source material was the original master tapes or original multi-tracks.
		These three virtuosos set the bar for the classic power trio line-up and in the process redefined rock music and introduced unprecedented levels of improvisational freedom within songs such as "Crossroads." Post-Cream, Clapton took his godhead status into the supergroup Blind Faith before becoming a sideman with Delaney & Bonnie ("Comin' Home").

		I have to also add, don't feel bad if you pick up the wallet sized "Crossroads" 4CD set, because the package IMHO is better to handle, and the Cds shoulnd't rot like many of those early USA "center-to-edge-aluminum-filled" Cds.
		Xroads is a great set, but do keep in mind that certain tracks sound kind of bad on it.

		There have been a few "best of" releases over the years but they were single-disc affairs, meager samplings from a long and prolific career.
		Sometimes the progression is pretty stark, as on the Clapton box set Crossroads -- two CDs of excitement followed by two CDs of blinding depression.
		In the early '70s he made some recordings with various vocalists singing his original and truly dreadful pseudo-philosophical lyrics, something the box set dutifully but briefly acknowledges.

	C - D
		Eric Clapton's box set Crossroads is an outstanding overview of the many phases of his career and includes material with the Yardbirds, John Mayall, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominoes, as well as tons of solo material.
		This box set really anchors a foundation of Eric Clapton's material; to be supplemented with your favorite eras, live shows, plus latter day releases.
		The set's packaging makes a nod to the original LP release, with an outer cardboard slipcase, four CDs in individual jackets, a 36-page booklet with original LP artwork, and mini-reproductions of the three huge posters that were part of the original release.

		The great, career-spanning "Crossroads" compilation was a box set that appealed to both beginners and hardcore Clapton fanatics.
		And besides, this set is weighed down somewhat by some mediocre performances, and the tempo is sometimes slowed down to a point where the pause between each drumbeat is long enough for the listener to start wondering if the CD has stopped playing.
		Crossroads 2 is an addition that centres on 70's live performances.

		Crossroads was a box set that appealed to both beginners and fanatics.
		However, their static, professional support provides a nice bed to chart Slowhand's growth over the course of the decade, simply because he is always the focal point.

		Following the format of the highly successful Led Zeppelin box set, this three-disc, 47-song anthology provides a near-perfect career retrospective, complete with a carefully researched booklet with meticulous historical essays and rare photos for the new and rabid fan alike.
		And even when the creative fires finally begin to wane somewhat as the set approaches the Nuthin' Fancy and Gimme Back My Bullets material (recorded at a time when the band was plagued by overwork and escalating drug abuse), the set wisely offers alternate versions and live renditions to keep things interesting.
		Although most box sets tend to be a bit too much for the casual fan to swallow, this one feels just right.

	Harmony Central®: Gibson Announces Eric Clapton Crossroads 335 Model
		"Crossroads Centre" is an internationally recognized treatment center for addiction, founded by the artist.
		The ultimate blues and rock musician, 16 time Grammy winner, and the only artist to ever be inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame three times, Clapton originally purchased the now famous Gibson ES 335 guitar in 1964 and used it throughout his illustrious career for the ensuing 40 years.
		The processes used to reproduce the guitar include digitizing the neck with a laser beam to ensure dimensional accuracy, aging the finish to simulate 40 years of loving use, replicating the Hare Krishna sticker given to Eric by George Harrison, and stenciling the "distressed" case with the "CREAM" logo - as per the original.
