Thank you Mc Mc.
I do believe I reclaim my theory as that contstitutes a hit to me, granted, a bit of a slow burner.
One can only imagine how much was spent on the recording and circulating financial events as a result, I rather think recouping was achieved though! |

Checking the stats on Guinness, the original 7" edit made #7 in 1972 (two years after the album came out). But then the single was reissued in 1982 in the form of a 12" containing the full seven-minute cut and second time around it peaked at #4. |

Thats` testing my brain, but I seem to recall that Fluff did tell Melody Maker magazine the same thing, which of course made us all want to hear it, which we couldn`t without buying the record which the same paper had, I believe , slated.
Either way, this thread has made me just play my original copy of the single again, completely stored perfectly, as are all of my old records and I tell you what?
Who the heck pressed that!? Dear oh dear. The final cut sounds like someone was in a hell of a rush still and that is the one we all bought.
Was it Nigel Hopkins on piano on the album version? |

I remember once having a long conversation with the late, great Fluff Freeman where we both agreed we would NEVER play Layla without the brilliant coda.
As he was doing the chart, thank heavens it never made the list! |
