Eric Clapton - Another Ticket (1981/2014) Hi-Res

'Another Ticket' is the first studio album by Clapton's new band of all-British musicians which he had assembled in the late summer of 1979. This particular project reminds of the 'Blind Faith' album in that the circumstances surrounding its release were less than perfect but the music remains strong and vibrant to the present day. Clapton and his group, which had expanded to include the services of keyboardist/vocalist Gary Brooker(of Procul Harum fame), first attempted to record an album in March and April of 1980 at Surrey Sound Studios in Leatherneck, Surrey, under the guidance of Glyn Johns who had worked successfully with E.C. on such efforts as 'Slowhand' and 'Backless'. The resulting album. 'Turn Up Down', was subsequently rejected by RSO Records as it was rumored to contain too much material by Albert Lee and Gary Brooker which detracted from its identity as a Clapton album.
