Stormcock is Roy’s masterpiece but “Valentine” is almost as good – and quite a bit more accessible. A collection of love songs, yes, but there is nothing predictable or sloppy here: these songs have truth, tenderness, anger, frustration, humour – and loads of bittersweet twists and turns to keep you interested. Some of the tracks rock out very nicely with assistance from Roy’s “heavy” friends, but mostly the feel of this album is gentle, acoustic (very fine guitar as always from Roy)…quite seductive in its way.

The LP has now been re-issued as a CD

Sting’s second and most conceptually dense solo album moved on from jazz to ideas picked up from Latin music. Even when he’s not using Latin music’s tricky polyrhythms, the melodies of the ballad “Be Still My Beating Heart” and the hit dance single “We’ll Be Together” suggest he’d been listening to lots of salsa.

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is a rock album by Derek and the Dominos, released in December 1970. It is often regarded as Eric Clapton’s greatest musical achievement.

The group which created Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs grew out of Clapton’s frustration with the hype associated with the supergroups Cream and the short-lived Blind Faith. After their dissolution, he joined Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, whom he had come to know while they were the opening act for Blind Faith, for a British tour.

The other source for Layla was Clapton’s personal life: he had fallen in love with Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend George Harrison. Not even heroin, which Clapton had then begun to use, could dull the pain. Dave Marsh, in The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll, wrote that “there are few moments in the repertoire of recorded rock where a singer or writer has reached so deeply into himself that the effect of hearing them is akin to witnessing a murder, or a suicide… to me, ‘Layla’ is the greatest of them.”
