I love this! aand somehow it makes me think of Sinéad's cover of 'Down pressure man' - I think some of the same musicians are involved ... can any one enlighten me?
Lots of hate for EC here, and I'm not his biggest fan either, but I think the licks and pace of this version is kick a$$. I love this version of Pressure Drop, and will turn it up and happily count in the 1, 2, a-1, 2 10 10 along with Mr. Toots every time

I like this but it doesn’t really need Clapton’s input. Original is a straight ten.

Shit Hot.
Robert Palmer did a great cover of this song.

Ok, but where is the PSD button?
'PSD' was the 'Play Something Different' button that Radio Paradise used to have - which would play an (apparently) random track, before returning to the 'live' mix.
.
'PSD' has since been 'obsoleted' by the 'skip' button of course, but is still referred to by those of us who remember the days before and during the presence of the 'PSD' button as a way of saying words to the effect of 'i dislike the track that is now playing sufficiently for me to reject it'
(or 'They're playing The Smiths again' )
Cheers

I don't get comments like this. It's not like Clapton forced his way into this version. He was invited as a guest of the artist who wrote the song to perform on this version of it. It's not a replacement of the original version and it wouldn't have made it to the album as is if Toots and the band weren't okay with Clapton's playing.

If you've ever been in the tropics you know what a pressure drop is, and it can mean bad news: big storm is coming. Tie down your roof and bring the goats in.

Ok, but where is the PSD button?
no one had pipes like Toots Hibbert
I'd go as far as saying not only was Clapton's input not needed, but it actually heavily detracted from the quality of the song. Annoying guitar licks that didn't need to be added, or could've been done in a much more subtle way.
Reminds me a bit of Ry Cooder playing with Buenavista Social Club...there are moments in that movie where you can see the Cuban players cringe when Ry Cooder steps in with a really loud, almost attention-seeking sequence.

Disagree. Can't possibly be the 'best thing' EC's done since Cream. This is a sharp fun, party song with a nudge to think a bit. Layla (song and album) was a classic and a masterstroke, and even though EC was but half of a red hot axe duo, he is stellar. Overlooking that is...a perception drop. Plus, snarky comments are made about EC's singing, but his voice has never rubbed me for one the wrong way.

Just noticed the count in for the first time (1, 2, 10, 12) which i found amusing.
BTW is it common knowledge that Bono counts in (the equivalent of) "1, 2 , 3, 14" on 'Vertigo' by U2.
I heard an interview where Bono was asked why he counted in as "1, 2, 3, 14", he said "Do i?" that made me laugh too!
I know 'Pressure Drop' from the version by The Clash. i like them both.

Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds do a better job of this.
This is about the only way I can take Raggae, though it's probably more related to Ska.
It is you, it is you, it is you, oh yeah!!!!!
the late great Robert palmer does a great cover of this from album of same title
Now I realized where Doug and the Slugs got their beats from.

I find it curious to hear of extremes of negativity to a particular style of music. Are some people conditioned to think they don't like a style? I think this could be something that is highly relevant.
Think about it. Normally our listening habits are formed as a child and in the family home. In the past, I have seen people/parents berate,say, opera as being 'rubbish'. I have seen the same for Jazz, classical, pop, prog, whatever. The reasons can be many and varied but for a child, or in a peer group, the conditioning runs deep. Who wants to be associated with something that is not cool or regarded os worthwhile?
So, Chris. I'd love to know if this is the case for you? That perhaps at some point you were strongly told that (for whatever reason) reggae is not worthy of listening to.
.. ahh.. the philosophy of aesthetics.. why do we find some things attractive some things unattractive and some things disgusting or repellent?
Why do we go all gooey at a sunset over a tropical sea yet go all nauseous at gooey slugs feasting on a dead rat that we see in the bushes? Both are natural manifestations and both have their place in the order of things so what's our problem with it? Is it just the associations they bear? Death decay and disease are not really that conducive to good sex (as the sun sets over the tropical sea, etc) so we shy away from them? Is it just biological? Is it just tribalism that makes us hit the PSD as we ostracize one set of tastes/people from our set of potential mates? Or do we feel our world order threatened? Or are we the slugs in the middle of a feast and it's the others having glorious sex on a tropical beach somewhere..

I understand that RP is a great radio station because it plays all kind of music but I can't stand reggae.. To me it's an immediate PSD, no matter who the artist is.

I'd rather listen to the original. The cover version by The Clash wouldn't be too bad either.

Well done and like the addition of EC guitar, but after about a minute...I tire of this. I know, I know...it's MY problem.
I plead no contest to this blatant plagiarism, RT, but everyone in my classroom be dancing.
Either this is way overplayed or I listen to RadioParadise way too much. I mean, it's not a bad song, but....
Weird coincidence. Toots' facebook just put this up https://soundcloud.com/phree/03-pressure-drop/s-vpfJK
It's from his upcoming Unplugged album for charity. Odd hearing the same tune twice in 10 minutes.

Great song, terrible version. Irreparably marred by Clapton's wah-wah-wanking throughout the whole flippin' song. Honestly, it sounds like some talented teenager who just got his first Crybaby: No judgement on when to play or when to use the effect pedal, just indiscriminately vomiting notes everywhere. Not what we have come to expect from Mr. Clapton.

Unfortunately, because I've listened to it as a kid, I prefer Jimmy Cliff's version on the Soundtrack to The Harder They Come. Not that this version is bad, it just does not appeal to me as much.
