The Layla Sessions box set included a disc of jams and another CD of outtakes. The bonus disc kicks off with some genuine rarities, namely both sides of a rare non-LP single produced by Phil Spector and the band’s complete performance on The Johnny Cash Show from November 1970 (featuring guest appearances from Cash and Carl Perkins on Perkins’ own “Matchbox”). The rest of the disc is devoted to sessions from the group’s aborted second LP, nearly all of which were previously released on the iconic Crossroads box set back in 1988. (Those outtakes are newly remixed for this box set.)
The super-deluxe box adds another set of nice treats for fans: the album on double vinyl, a DVD featuring 5.1 surround remixes of the album (plus “Mean Old World”), and another two discs encapsulating the band’s stand at The Fillmore East in the fall of 1970. (The original double album from these dates, 1973′s In Concert, form the groundwork for this part of the set, and each disc is augmented with four bonus songs first released on Live at The Fillmore, a 1994 live set that took different performances from those concerts.) The whole set is housed in a box featuring pop-up artwork, reproduced swag and a new hardcover book.
