461 Ocean Boulevard
''461 Ocean Boulevard'' is the second studio album released by the British rock musician Eric Clapton. The album was released in late July of 1974 for RSO Records, shortly after the record company released the hit single "I Shot the Sheriff" in early July the same year. The album title comes after a rental house, in which Clapton lived while recording the album on 461 Ocean Boulevard in the town of Golden Beach, Florida. The number in the address of the house has since changed due to fans flocking to the property after the album's release. The album topped various international charts and sold more than two million copies. It was also one of the first "pop music" albums to be released in the USSR. The album marked Clapton's return to form after battling with his three-year heroin addiction. In 2004, a remastered two-disc deluxe edition of the album was released, also featuring a live concert recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon and additional studio jam sessions.
==Background and recording==
After overcoming his heroin addiction, Clapton realized that he wasted three years of his life, stating he did not do anything else than watching the television and getting out of shape. When Clapton sought help working on a farm, he then started to listen to a lot of new music and old Blues songs he brought with him and started to play again, even writing whole songs out of simple ideas. With these song ideas in mind, Clapton was given a demo tape by Carl Radle, the former bassist for Derek and the Dominos, with songs performed by Radle with keyboardist Dick Sims and drummer Jamie Oldaker. Clapton liked the recordings, calling them "simply superb". Clapton was given time to write new material for a next album by Radle. When Clapton set to work on tracks for the upcoming studio release, he wanted to leave his songs as incomplete as possible, so that the musicians, who were going to record with Clapton in the studio, would get the chance to make them their own. After the British rock musician appeared in the rock opera ''Tommy'', his manager at the time, Robert Stigwood got into contact with Clapton about a new project. Stigwood arranged for Clapton to recorded at the Criteria Studios in Miamo, Florida with Radle, Sims, Oldacker and record producer Tom Dowd. When it came time to record the new album, Clapton was worried about both the commercial and artistic success of the album, noting his concept of a new album would only work when the chemistry between the musician worked. Clapton also hired guest vocalist Yvonne Elliman and guitarist George Terry as full-time members of his group. Stigwood also paid for Eric to live at a rental house at the address 461 Ocean Boulevard in the town of Golden Beach near Miami. The whole album was recorded from April to May 1974. For the recording sessions, Clapton used his ''Blackie'' Fender Stratocaster electric guitar.〔 For slide guitar work, the British rock musician used several Gibson ES-335 guitars. He also played vintage, pre-1970s acoustic guitars, manufactured by Martin.
