Eric Clapton – August (2018 Vinyl Reissue)

Released on 24 November 1986, August is the tenth solo studio album by Eric Clapton. Described as a ‘hard R&B’ album, it was primarily produced by Phil Collins, in association with longtime Clapton associate Tom Dowd.

Clapton’s studio band for the album included Collins on drums and backing vocals, bassist Nathan East and keyboard player Greg Phillinganes; saxophonist Michael Brecker, trumpeters Randy Brecker and Jon Faddis, and trombone player Dave Bargeron. Collins, East and Phillinganes would recreate their studio roles for Clapton’s acclaimed live appearances over the next two years.

Veering between Collins soul/pop and Clapton blues/rock, August cemented Clapton’s comeback.
