Eric Clapton – Backless (Original US Pressing, RSO RS-1 3039, GRT/Terre Haute)

An original US pressing of Eric Clapton's 1978 album Backless, released on RSO Records (RS-1 3039). This copy features the Side 1 matrix RS1-3039-BS GRT-2 TML-M — pressed at the GRT plant with a Terre Haute, Indiana modifier, second stamper generation.

Backless finds Clapton in a relaxed, country-inflected groove, featuring the hit "Promises" alongside standout tracks "Walk Out in the Rain," "Watch Out for Lucy," and a warm cover of Don Williams' "You Look Wonderful Tonight" — wait, that's Slowhand. Backless features "Promises," "Golden Ring," "Early in the Morning," and a laid-back reading of "If I Don't Be There by Morning." A mellow, well-crafted record in superb near mint condition throughout.
