Eric Clapton has been rumored to have played on several songs on this album.
Those rumors are false and have no basis in fact.
However, there is some relationship with this album:
'Here Comes The Sun' was written by George Harrison whilst sitting in Eric Clapton's garden.
Besides, this album ranks as one of the Greatest Rock Albums of All Time and should belong in any one's collection (IMHO).

CD Now -
ABBEY ROAD, recorded in the summer of 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles (LET IT BE was released in 1970, but recorded in early '69).
The superb musical and vocal performances made ABBEY ROAD a highlight for all the members of the group. Paul McCartney inspired the suite of songs that begins with "You Never Give Me Your Money" (often thought of as two long medleys, the songs that fill most of the second-half of ABBEY ROAD segue seamlessly into one another, but are programmed as separate CD tracks). George Harrison had his first A-side on a Beatles' single ("Something"); John Lennon contributed a pair of heavy rockers ("Come Together" and "I Want You"); and Ringo Starr's "Octopus's Garden" was a favorite with children.


Down Beat -
4 Stars - Very Good - "...What is it that makes the Beatles so likeable? Maybe it's that they never seem to strain for effects yet are meticulous craftsman; that their humor, even when rather gruesome ...is never offensive; that their satire is never malicious; their lyricism never maudlin, but their work still has punch and conviction...genuine musicality and poetic imagination..."
Down Beat 1/22/70


Rolling Stone -
Simply, side two does more for me than the whole of "Sgt. Pepper," and I'll trade you "The Beatles and Magical Mystical Tour" and a Keith Moon drumstick for side one.
So much for the prelims. "Come Together," is John Lennon very nearly at the peak of his form; twisted, freely-associative, punful lyrically, pinched and somehow a little smug vocally. Breathtakingly recorded (as is the whole album), with a perfect little high-hat-tom-tom run by Ringo providing a clever semi-colon to those eerie shooo-ta's, Timothy Leary's campaign song opens up things in grand fashion indeed.
George's vocal, containing less adenoids and more grainy Paul tunefulness than ever before, is one of many highlights on his "Something" some of the others being more excellent drum work, a dead catchy guitar line, perfectly subdued strings, and an unusually nice melody. Both his and Joe Cocker's version will suffice nicely until Ray Charles gets around to it.
Paul McCartney and Ray Davies are the only two writers in rock and roll who could have written "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," a jaunty vaudevillian/music-hallish celebration wherein Paul, in a rare naughty mood celebrates the joys of being able to bash in the heads of anyone threatening to bring you down. Paul puts it across perfectly, with the coyest imaginable choir-boy innocence.
Someday, just for fun, Capitol/Apple's going to have to compile a "Paul McCartney Sings Rock And Roll" album, with "Long, Tall, Sally," "I'm Down," "Helter Skelter," and most definitely, "Oh! Darling," in which, fronting a great "ouch!"-yelling guitar and wonderful background harmonies he delivers an induplicably strong, throat-ripping vocal of sufficient power to knock out even those skeptics who would otherwise have complained about yet another Beatle tribute to the golden groovies' era.
That the Beatles can unify seemingly countless musical fragments and lyrical doodlings into a uniformly wonderful suite, as they've done on side two seems potent testimony that no, they've far from lost it, and no, they haven't stopped trying.
No, on the contrary, they've achieved here the closest thing yet to Beatles free-form, fusing more diverse intriguing musical and lyrical ideas into a piece that amounts to far more than the sum of those ideas.
"Here Comes the Sun," for example, would come off as quite mediocre on its own, but just watch how John and especially Paul build on its mood of perky childlike wonder. Like here, in "Because," is this child, or someone with a child's innocence, having his mind blown by the most obvious natural phenomena, like the blueness of the sky. Amidst, mind you, beautiful and intricate harmonies, the like of which the Beatles have not attempted since "Dr. Robert."
Then just for a moment, we're into Paul's "You Never Give Me Your Money," which seems more a daydream than an actual address to the girl he's thinking about. Allowed to remain pensive only for an instant, we're next transported, via Paul's "Lady Madonna" voice and boogie-woogie piano in the bridge, to this happy thought: "Oh, that magic feelin'/Nowhere to go." Crickets' chirping and a kid's nursery rhyme ("1-2-3-4-5-6-7/All good children go to heaven") lead us from there into a dreamy John number, "Sun King," in which we find him singing for the Italian market, words like "amore" and felice" giving us some clue as to the feel of this reminiscent-of-"In My Room" ballad.
And then, before we know what's happened, we're out in John Lennon's England meeting these two human oddities, Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam. From there it's off to watch a surreal afternoon telly programme; Paul's "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window!" Pensive and a touch melancholy again a moment later, we're into "Golden Slumbers," from which we wake to the resounding thousands of voices on "Carry that Weight," a rollicking little commentary of life's labours if ever there was one, and hence to a reprise of the "Money" theme (the most addicting melody and unforgettable words on the melody and unforgettable words on the album). Finally, a perfect epitaph for our visit to the world of Beatle daydreams: "The love you take is equal to the love you make. . ." And, just for the record, Paul's gonna make Her Majesty his.
I'd hesitate to say any thing's impossible for him after listening to "Abbey Road " the first thousand times, and the others aren't far behind. To my mind, they're equable, but still unsurpassed.

American Music Guide
A double-album release from {Mrs. Lennon.} While the first disc contains real songs, such as the rockin' "Midsummer New York" and the gentle love ballad "Mrs. Lennon," disc two contains more avant-garde doodlings that {Yoko} was known for at the time. The side-long cut entitled "Fly" is soundtrack material from {John} and {Yoko's} film of the same name. If you tend to ignore her weird stuff, stick to disc one, because there are some good tunes to be found there. All in all, a split decision. The 1997 CD reissue adds a couple of previously unreleased bonus tracks: "Between the Takes," a wordless improvisation typical of her jams of the time, and an acoustic version of "Will You Touch Me" with {John Lennon} on guitar.

CD Now
A 6 disc box set spanning Ono's 20 years of recording, from UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 2: LIFE WITH THE LIONS through "STAPEACE". Previously unreleased material includes the "A STORY" LP recorded during 1973-74, while Ono was separated from John Lennon.
The packaging includes a 96-page CD-sized booklet with lyrics to all of the songs. and liner notes by Robert Palmer. The box itself was designed by Roger Gorman, who also designed David Bowie's SOUND + VISION box set. The set contains 105 songs.


CMJ New Music Report
Tater Totz had it all wrong: For most acolytes of current, comparatively well-exposed experimental musics scurrying to rediscover the obscured ancestral inventors, Yoko Ono usually comes as an afterthought at best, even though she was associated with some of the most revered immortals of the burgeoning avant garde. Most of us only encountered her work as an adjunct to a childhood Beatles fetish, and having no point of comparison other than that ultimate in popular artistry, most of us missed the point entirely. These ruthlessly comprehensive six discs compile and resequence (by Yoko herself) her career in rock, starting with her late-'60s switch-over from visual and performance art, moving to her work with laid-back Downtown NYC session men, to disarmingly light-hearted contributions to Double Fantasy and to her cathartic post-1980 albums, the harrowing results of which bring the mood of the set full circle to her larynx-shredding Plastic Ono band improvisations. Yoko's explorations went in so many directions-with a spectrum of musicians ranging from Lennon, Clapton and Ringo to her prescient avant pals noodling with dissonance and Indian/African instruments- that a one-session attempt at getting it all straight results in a dizzying, synapse-frying experience. From "Don't Worry Kyoko" to the hauntingly sweet ballads on No, No, No, Yoko's voice is suprisingly adaptive, playing the other-worldly harridan with modulated, multi-textured screeching and growling or turning into the nurturing earth poetess, her high, deceptively soft singing voice as distinctive and arresting as Nico's. While Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Run, Run, Run and A Story are definite products of the `70s' New York club scene, they maintain a candid, stubbornly individual hand upon all aspects of the songs, her lyrics an unsparing, personal scalpel isolating them from those familiar `70s polarites of inflated, artsy progressives and scabby punk blurtings. New York Rock is in turns insouciantly honking and squealing and mouthing off drop-dead quips, quietly uncovering small sorrows and pleasures on "What A Bastard The World Is" and "Death Of Samantha." London Jam is the most revealing for sonic dissidence-her bravely roaming improvs in a multitude of arrangements stumble against secret passages to the future, grappling with overtones, harmonics, and tape loops, "Why," "Why Not," "O'Wind" and "Mind Train" making perfect sense in 1992. Aside from her intrinsically strong personality and intellect, Yoko's work takes a stance that's still unique: Being an inarguably staunch, pioneering feminist in an old British boys network, she not only commanded unquestioned control of all aspects of her work, but while thought at the time to be abrasively feminist, half of her songs concerned her role as loving wife and mother. Her ease at expressing anger and gentleness, individuality and the joys of codependency conveyed a strength and maturity that few rock `n roll women or men have ever attained.

Rolling Stone
4 Stars - Excellent - "..That Yoko Ono made music of marginal worth is repudiated once and for all by this lavish, illuminating six-CD overview of her remarkable pop life...music that once seemed alienating now sounds startlingly prescient and charged with contentious passion...This thoughtful restoration of the Ono canon defintively affirms the vitality and, to some degree, belated accessibility of her work.."
Rolling Stone 5/14/92, p.104


Entertainment Weekly
"..gives Yoko Ono the avant garde heroine her due...The way she invents what others take for granted, renewing the ordinary by finding it odd, turns this collision of rock's primitive energy and performance art's self-dramatization into a preview of today's musical hybrids...ONOBOX sums up an honorable, radical, difficult career.." - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly 3/6/92, pg.60


American Music Guide
Although it inspires countless jokes, the music on the six-disc =Onobox= is, by and large, quite impressive. In terms of experimental rock & roll, Ono was certainly one of the leaders in the 1970s, creating intense, almost atonal rock that demanded to be accepted on its own terms. Nearly twenty years later, some of the music sounds dated, but much of it sounds remarkably contemporary. Nevertheless, the box is rarely dull and makes a strong case for her musical talents.

Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
"...Licenscing hassles kept much of his '80s work from this set, but it's still a thrilling display of his talent--and that great boogie-woogie piano." - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly 12/20/96, p.76

American Music Guide
It's a little problematic to put together a compilation of such an album-oriented artist. But unless you're very deeply into the Russell catalog, this two-CD, 40-track best-of will serve as a retrospective of all that you need, largely covering his work from the first half of the '70s (a couple of songs from his 1992 Virgin album are also included), and featuring his best-known hits, big and small. It's a well-done tour through his blend of swamp rock, gospel, and bits of blues and country, with material from eight of his Shelter LPs, including the one he recorded in 1969 as part of the Asylum Choir. Interesting rarities include a 1974 single of "Wild Horses," a 1970 cover of Dylan's "She Belongs to Me" that only showed up on a compilation, and a folk-rockish 1965 single for Dot.

~ Kenneth M. Cassidy, All-Music Guide


AMG Biograph
Delaney Bramlett (b Jul 1, 1939) and his wife Bonnie (b Nov 8, 1944) recorded a series of blues and country influenced albums in the late '60s and early '70s. A variety of musicians played in Delaney and Bonnie's band, including Eric Clapton, Dave Mason, Duane Allman, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Jim Gordon, Bobby Whitlock, and Carl Radle; Clapton, Gordon, Whitlock, and Radle formed Derek & The Dominoes after performing together on Delaney & Bonnie's 1969-70 tour. Delaney & Bonnie's records were a strong influence on Eric Clapton's style in the '70s. The group broke up after The Bramletts' marriage collapsed in 1972.

Notes:

A most excellent album! Eric should have been on it! In fact he may be uncredited.
One song (track 2) appears on 'Session Man Vol. II' compilation cd.

Has the same feel (and personnel) as Delaney & Bonnie & Friends but also shows a stronger electric side.
Dave Mason was with Derek & The Dominos at the start of their association see 'Roll It Over' ) and played live with them at the beginning and during the All Things Must Pass sessions.

Review

Rolling Stone
"...the music is vintage Mason...Mason's singing is simply superb..."
Rolling Stone 9/3/70, p.42


American Music Guide
{Dave Mason's} first solo album was one of several recordings to come out of the {Leon Russell}/{Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett} axis in 1970. (Other notables included {Eric Clapton's} solo debut and {Joe Cocker's} =Mad Dogs and Englishmen.=) =Alone Together= contains an excellen batch of melodically pleasing songs, built on a fat bed of strumming acoustic guitars with tasteful electric guitar accents and leads. {Mason's} vocals are embellished with harmonies from {Rita Coolidge,} {Claudia Lennear,} and {Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett.}

Besides the well-known semi-hit "Only You Know and I Know," which was also a number 20 hit for the {Bramletts,} highlights include the bouncy gospel-inflected "Waitin' on You," and the banjo-bejeweled "Just a Song." "Look at You Look at Me" and the wonderfully wah-wahed "Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave" are reminiscent of {Mason's} former band, {Traffic,} whose drummer, {Jim Capaldi} is among the all-star cast assembled here.

=Alone Together= represents {Dave Mason} at his peak. Later releases would betray lyrical shallowness, forced rhymes and cliched guitar licks. But here, everything comes together perfectly. The original vinyl release of =Alone Together= was also noteworthy for the marble grain of the record itself -- as the record played on the turntable, the tonearm appeared to be floating through the clouds.
~ Jim Newsom, All-Music Guide


Wilson & Alroys Record Reviews
This was the first of quite a few Dave Mason solo records. Guests include Capaldi, Jim Gordon, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, and Delaney and Bonnie
- all of them except Capaldi appeared on Eric Clapton's debut solo album, which seems to have been recorded concurrently.
(emphasis mine - JCH)
The single was "Only You Know And I Know." (JA)

Review

CD Now
With this, his first solo album, Eric Clapton did a complete 360 from his work of the previous five years. Gone were the long, jazzy solos and rootsy Chicago blues work. In their place, Clapton was stretching as a singer and seeking to define his own song forms, inspired by the Beatles, the Band, and his new found collaborators from the southern R&B circuit, Delaney And Bonnie.
ERIC CLAPTON marks Clapton's first use of the Fender Stratocaster. Its high, wirey, percussive sound stands in stark contrast to the dark, fat, singing Gibson sounds Clapton had perfected with John Mayall, Cream and Blind Faith. This new Clapton sound is quite striking, from the twangy leads on his opening instrumental "Slunky," to the cutting feints and jabs which transform J.J. Cale's "After Midnight" into a Clapton signature piece.
Positioned as it is between the legendary BLIND FAITH and LAYLA sessions, ERIC CLAPTON has long been underrated by fans and critics alike, but the roots of much of what Clapton's done since 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD can be found here: the pithy melodic style of "Blues Power," the country/gospel overtones of "Bottle Of Red Wine," and the confessional tone of "Let It Rain." In addition, ERIC CLAPTON is significant both as a showcase for Clapton's emerging vocal stylings and as a proving ground for his Dominoes rhythm section of drummer Jim Gordon, bassist Carl Radle and keyboardist/vocalist Bobby Whitlock.


American Music Guide
{Eric Clapton's} eponymous solo debut was recorded after he completed a tour with {Delaney & Bonnie.} {Clapton} used the core of the duo's backing band and co-wrote the majority of the songs with {Delaney Bramlett} - accordingly, =Eric Clapton= sounds more laidback and straightforward than any of the guitarist's previous recordings. There are still elements of blues and rock & roll, but they're hidden beneath layers of gospel, R&B, country, and pop flourishes. And the pop element of the record is the strongest of the album's many elements -- "Blues Power" isn't a blues song and only "Let It Rain," the album's closer, features extended solos. Throughout the album, {Clapton} turns out concise solos that de-emphasize his status as guitar god, even when they display astonishing music ability and technique. That is both a good and a bad thing -- it's encouraging to hear him grow and become a more fully rounded musician, but too often the album needs the spark that some long guitar solos would have given it. In short, it needs a little more of {Clapton's} personality.

American Music Guide
The first album co-billed to {John Lennon} and {Yoko Ono} to actually contain recognizable pop music,=Sometime in New York City= found the Lennons in an explicitly political phase, expounding on such topical subjects as the Attica prison riot and the treatment of activists {John Sinclair} and {Angela Davis.} Especially in the case of {Lennon}'s songs, there is an appealing rock style to the material, even if the lyrics limit the record's appeal. =Sometime in New York City= was originally released with a free bonus disc that contained a live medley of {Lennon}'s "Cold Turkey" and {Ono's} "Don't Worry Kyoko," and an appearance by the Lennons at a {Mothers of Invention} concert. This slight material now makes the album a two-CD set, and it is priced accordingly. ~ William Ruhlmann, All-Music Guide
