CREAM * CROSSROADS *





    Este fué uno de mis primeros vinilos comprado cuando apareció en nuestro País , esto fué a finales de 1969, conservado como oro en paño,( en perfecto estado, dentro de lo que cabe, sin rallar al menos !) a pesar de ser uno de los que más vueltas han dado en mi tocadiscos. Hoy nos sirve para felicitar desde nuestro modesto portal a uno de los más grandes guitarristas que ha dado la historia, sin duda, y que además , para bien de todos los aficionados, sigue al pié del cañon ! y aunque en su momento comentó que al cumplir los 70 años su idea era retirarse, de momento no parece que vaya a cumplir sus pronósticos, de la cual cosa nos alegramos y le deseamos que cumpla muchos más !   HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Clapton !
