Notes

The difference between this version and another UK & Europe version of Journeyman is that this version does NOT have an embossed bass-clef in the centre of the label. See pictures and BAoI on the other version for confirmation.

Released with a printed inner sleeve and outer sleeve in gatefold format.
Runouts are stamped, except for what follows the side identifier (and the coherent digit where applicable); these parts are etched.

I bought this album when the single Bad Love was in charts and was originally disappointed that the whole album was not in the same vein. So until now, this LP has been largely unplayed and unloved for decades. Gave it a chance play through this week and can now appreciate the range of tracks and the quality of the musicians. Quite a nice blend of styles, and the production on this issue is clear, crisp and punchy.

Eric Clapton's 1989 Journeyman is truly a force of nature in Eric's long discography list. Bad Love being one of his career's highlights. Now let's talk about the vinyl. I was hesitant at purchasing the vinyl for a few months, fearing the 56 minute run time would compromise the LP's sound quality, however i'm pleased to report there is no issues regarding its quality. Punchy n' lively, the LP's sound fills the room with very little groove compression. Great record !!
