The Cream of Eric Clapton is a compilative film made from recordings of various live concerts by British rock musician Eric Clapton . The film was released on VHS on January 23, 1990 and on DVD on April 29, 1998 .

Trivia

The title White Room was cut from recordings of the Farewell concert and Cream's honor in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . Three different shots of Layla were cut into one. Clapton sings Tearing Us Apart as a duet with Tina Turner. Wonderful Tonight performs Clapton with Mark Knopfler.

There is a risk of confusion with the CD release of the same name The Cream of Eric Clapton from 1987. The production team consisted of Chris Hunt, Judy Chesterman and Angela Gray.
