Forever Man is a compilation album by the British rock musician Eric Clapton and was released through Reprise Records.

Release

The pre-order for the compilation album started on March 17, 2015.[1] People had the chance to pre-order the album through the official Eric Clapton website. When ordering the 3-CD and LP-version of the release, you could get a T-shirt with the album's cover, a cup and an 18″ × 24″ lithograph.[2] On the first day of the album announcement more than 37,000 copies were pre-ordered in the United States alone. With the total pre-order sales being added up, Forever Man reached position ten on the American pre-order chart. Until the actual release of the album on 28 April 2015, the compilation was pre-ordered more than 151,000 times in the US. In Venezuela the album has been available since April 28, and has sold more than 5,000 copies, becoming a gold record in the first two days.[3] The same release day was set for the United States, Canada and Mexico.[4] In Germany the album was released on May 8.[5] In Italy and Malaysia Forever Man was released one day after the German release date. In the southeastern state, the album quickly sold 7,500 copies in week one becoming a gold record. For the rest of the world the album was made available on May 11.[6]

AllMusic[7]

German music expert Günter Schneidewind recalls the compilation as "abundant piece of work" and thinks that the album shows "Claptons life-long work pretty well".[8] AllMusic called this Clapton compilation the "by far the most extensive". They critique the track listings of the album saying they "make sense on paper but they're a little odd in practice, with the Studio selections hopscotching between eras and the live heavy on new millennial selections". Going on by recalling it "hardly a botched collection", they round their review up positively recalling the album "delivers a lot of bang for the buck".[7]
