Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

Extended re-release

To mark the twentieth anniversary of the release in 1990, an extended version of the album was released as a deluxe 3-CD set, with extensive liner notes. The first disc in the set reprised the original LP, re-mixed to studio-quality sound, with significant improvements including remixing the stereo placement of the bass, which in the early 70s was typically mixed into either the left or right channel, rather than in the centre, as is the norm today.

The other two discs -- titled "The Layla Sessions" -- included a number of jam sessions, including the historic jam from the night that Clapton and Allman met. Also included were out-takes of some of the songs, and the previously un-released tracks ("Mean Old World", "It Hurts Me Too", and "Tender Love").
