The original soundtrack for the new Eric Clapton documentary Life in 12 Bars features five previously unreleased tracks by the guitar legend. Slated for release on June 8th, the compilation is a companion to the Lili Fini Zanuck-directed documentary, which debuted on Showtime earlier this year.

Among those newly-released slices of Clapton’s greatness is a 17-minute live version of “Spoonful” recorded during an October 1968 Cream show at the LA Forum. The soundtrack also features two Derek and The Dominos offerings, including a version of “High” recored during the 1971 Olympic Studios sessions for their unreleased second album, and a cover Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing” that wa recorded on at the Fillmore East on October 24, 1971, just a few weeks after Hendrix’s death.

Additionally, the soundtrack includes the previously unreleased full-length version of Clapton’s 1974 take on “I Shot The Sheriff”, which was recorded during the sessions for 461 Ocean Boulevard. Finally, a live performance Chuck Berry’s “Little Queenie” from a July 1974 show at the Long Beach Arena can be found on the soundtrack as well.

On top of all that, the release features two alternative mixes of Clapton’s debut album: one mx from Delaney Bramlett and Tom Dowd, and another from Clapton himself.

The Life In 12 Bars soundtrack will be available in 2-CD, 4-LP, and digital formats. In total, the compilation showcases 32 tracks by The Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, Muddy Waters and Clapton solo. Fans can preorder it via Amazon, and the full track list can be found below.
