Blockbuster Album Stirs the Heart, Shakes the Soul, and Invigorates the Senses Eric Clapton Unplugged Radiates with Intimacy, Maturity, Poignancy, Honesty, and SweetnessMastered from the Original Master Tapes for Definitive Sound Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Puts You in the Front Row and Features Breathtaking TransparencyDiamond-Platinum 1992 Effort Includes the Hit Ballad 'Tears in Heaven,' Memorable Blues Covers, and Support from an Ace Band Unplugged Won Six Grammy AwardsEric Clapton's Unplugged is far more than an album. It remains a majestic picture of a moment in time; an unvarnished glimpse into the soul of a legendary artist; a visionary journey into the inspirations that helped shape Clapton's character; a reexploration and re-evaluation of deep-seated musical roots; a continuation of critical blues heritage; a building block on which a subgenre sprouted; and a launching pad for both a later career resurgence and discovery. Having sold more than 26 million copies worldwide, Unplugged stirs the heart, shakes the soul, moves the mind, and invigorates the senses. Equivalent in mastery if not in volume to the output that earned Clapton his 'God' nickname, the intimate performances of blues gems and originals showcase a learned professor in his element. Now you can get a front-row seat to those 1992 recording sessions at Bray Film Studios.Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD enhances the blockbuster work for today - and the ages to come. Peeling away any remaining limitations to provide a transparent, lively, ultra-nuanced presentation of a record that won six Grammy Awards - including prizes for Album of the Year, Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, and Best Rock Song - it places Clapton and his ace support band in your room.

The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
