Handwritten 'letter to the fans' statement by Eric Clapton, signed “E. C.,” which was printed in a 1986 program for a tour featuring Clapton, Phil Collins, Nathan East, and Greg Phillinganes. The manuscript is penned in black ink on an off-white 7.75 x 9.75 sheet, which reads: “Whenever I make a record my life seems to change yet again. The nature of that change depends as much on the influence of the people who are involved as it does upon the music. It’s as if, like a sponge, I absorb the general ‘vibe’ and the change slowly starts to take place, new patterns of thought, new forms of language, new musical directions, new things to laugh at, and then suddenly it’s all over and we have to say goodbye until the next time — But this time the ‘vibe’ was so strong that nobody wanted to let go, and so, here we are! I hope you like it because a lot of sacrifices were made to put this thing together: Phil was supposed to be having a well deserved rest, and both Greg and Nathan were already booked into other projects. As for me, I would do anything to work with these blokes, they are the best, and I consider it an honour and a blessing to play with them.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by an original ‘Clapton Collins Phillinganes East 86’ program featuring Collins' statement.
Originates from the estate of graphic designer Bogdan Zarkowski, the designer of the program.
