Current revision

Template:Album infobox 461 Ocean Boulevard is a 1974 (see 1974 in music) album by blues rocker Eric Clapton. His first album after quitting heroin and his second after the dissolution of Derek & the Dominos, Clapton was under a lot of pressure during the recording of 461 Ocean Boulevard. He succeeded though, and the album received rave reviews upon its release. Though some noted the lack of experimentation and a perceived stagnation in his growth as an artist, listeners and many critics sincerely enjoyed the record.

The original album and Polygram CD had (2) Better Make It Through Today (dropped from the re-release) and (11) Give Me Strength, now at position (2).

In 2004 a remastered two-disc "deluxe edition" of 461 Ocean Boulevard was released. The second disc included in the packaging features a live concert with various "jam" sessions. The first disc also has a few new added tracks, all live which were recorded at Hammersmith Concert Hall (formerly the Hammersmith Odeon).
