the covers issue i think just comes down to time line, we have no definitive dates associated with these shots. on what day and what year did clapton exactly pull them off and when did these gigs take place, there is a period where the covers are on for sure. i dont think there was a waffle cuz there is a famous quote from EC during this period about how much "better" the open coils sound, which then got many others to rip the covers off their PAFsNot much detail of the LP top grain in these, unfortunately. Two things strike me: First, that he needed to elevate his Marshall combo! Maybe trying to preserve the bottom end of his "woman tone"? Second, that his pickups appear covered in some pics and uncovered in others. Did he waffle between covering/uncovering the pups or is that just the lighting playing tricks?
Right, I was basing my comment on his mustache (present or absent), but as he almost never had the same hair/facial hair style in any two photos in the 60s, that's not a good factor to go on!!the covers issue i think just comes down to time line, we have no definitive dates associated with these shots. l
