Another page from the ACME Catalog -
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the program with the 1962 Looney Tunes pairing of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote in Zoom at the Top, directed by Chuck Jones.:
During the title sequence of this cartoon, Wile E. is identified as Overconfidentii Vulgaris and the Road Runner as Disappearialis Quickius.
The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is proud to remember that on this date in 1972, Derek and the Dominos peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart with the title track from Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, (one of the greatest Eric Claptons' albums) nearly two years after its initial release.
So sit back, relax (smoke 'em, if you got 'em) and enjoy listening to the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.
It's hard to believe now but the album did not sell well at the time; Layla never even charted in the UK. The record company did very little to advertise the album, figuring any project with Clapton would get plenty of publicity. Disappointed by Layla’s lackluster sales and addicted to heroin, Clapton went into seclusion for two years.
Demand Euphoria!
