The 1994 UK release Cream of Eric Clapton serves up 14 Clapton standards, more than half of them credited either to Cream or Derek & The Dominoes, then adds some of his poppier '70s stuff for good measure, including "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," which was a European single, "I Can't Stand it," "Wonderful Tonight" and "Lay Down Sally." Not a bad compilation, but not all that different than a lot of other Clapton comps, either, most of them bearing the name The Cream of Clapton.
