Of these numbers, which have been newly mixed for this reissue by their original engineer Andy Johns, the stop-gap riffery of Willie Dixon's 'Evil' and the anthemic 'Got To Get Better In A Little While' are the highlights from these aborted sessions (Bobby Whitlock has laid down new vocal and keyboard tracks for the latter incidentally, though his voice seems unchanged over the last 40 years and it blends in well).

Filmed at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee, and broadcast on 6 January 1971, the band performed " It's Too Late" and then joined Cash and Carl Perkins for the Perkins' classic, " Matchbox". Bobby Whitlock's version of the story is that the tape was rolling non-stop for the entire session, but that Dowd had taken a lavatory break leaving the faders on the mixer down. But let us draw a veil over that sorry time and move forward to February 2011, when a friend of mine recommended "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs". A bootleg was made of the Mono Promo a few years ago and I think its a scam because it's just a fold down.Derek and the Dominos went on tour to support Layla and performances from the October–December 1970 US tour were released in January 1973 on In Concert. AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised Allman's slide guitar work for "push[ing] Clapton to new heights" and stated, "what really makes Layla such a powerful record is that Clapton, ignoring the traditions that occasionally painted him into a corner, simply tears through these songs with burning, intense emotion. Of course, it wouldn't be fair to put all the glory on Clapton's shoulders here: as I said above, this is one of these albums that honor the word "supergroup" better than any other around, where they are generally just a collection of names.

From April 1970, the two spent weeks writing a number of songs "just to have something to play", as Whitlock put it. J. Cale recorded The Road to Escondido, on which Allman Brothers guitarist Derek Trucks played guitar. I'm curious if the 2008 Polydor one is much better than this 1975 Japanese one but not so curious as to be willing lay down the cash.

Atco Records issued Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs in November 1970 in the United States, [19] with a UK release following in December, on Polydor.
