Sound

The section on the CD versions is very good and much appreciated. The original mix was so muddy and congested that I am convinced the reproduced audio was a prime reason for all the pans upon initial release. I have no idea how Dowd gave his okay to the 1970 version's final studio product. What is the opposite of 'kudos'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:8AD:B98C:CACB:63 (talk) 18:45, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Artwork

This section begins: 'The album's front cover is credited as "Cover painting by Frandsen-De Schomberg with thanks to his son, Emile, for the abuse of his house." Bobby revealed in an interview in August 1970 they started an egg-throwing fight at Frandsen's house in France which his son Emile covered for them. Then he took them to his father's studio where they saw the painting that would become their album cover.' The second sentence doesn't make sense. How would anyone 'cover an egg-throwing fight'? From the interview (which was in 2011, not 1970) it seems Whitlock may have thought that the painter whose house this had formerly been was still alive, but according to the biography section of the website that the interview links to, he died the year before: '1969 [...] il décède le 11 Avril à Grasse' = he died 11th April in Grasse. https://peintre-emile-frandsen.com/index.php/biographie-3/ I suggest replacing this with: The album's front cover is credited as "Cover painting by Frandsen-De Schomberg with thanks to his son, Emile, for the abuse of his house". Bobby Whitlock revealed in an interview that while they were staying at Emile Frandsen's house in France in August 1970, he took them to his father's studio just after they had made a mess by throwing eggs at each other. It was there that they saw "La Fille au Bouquet" (Girl with bouquet), the painting by Émile-Théodore Frandsen de Shomberg that would become the cover of Layla.

Making edit now, plus: 46 years after Frandsen gave the painting to Eric Clapton, it was the subject of a French lawsuit in which Clapton was ordered to pay compensation for altering the image on a cardboard pop up used on the 40th anniversary reissue of the album. The family of Frandsen de Schomberg, who died in 1969, received €15,000 ($16,400). https://news.yahoo.com/french-court-orders-eric-clapton-pay-compensation-over-205310682.html Robert P Connolly (talk) 14:45, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clapton used a Gibson Les Paul to record the Layla and other assorted love songs album

Clapton wrote in his auto biography some missunderstanding had taken place because he used a Gibson Les Paul for the Layla and other Love songs album. He did not start to record with a Stratocaster untill 1974 he writes in his auto biography. 2A00:801:797:6E4E:B870:F8D9:323B:546B (talk) 21:39, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page? (I suspect you've misunderstood, and what Clapton probably wrote is that he started using the "Blackie" stratocaster in 1974. --Nicknack009 (talk) 22:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
