I've done some brief listening. Interesting, but it didn't blow me away. 
She Rides is neat, but Let It Rain is better. Delaney's mix is certainly 
more polished than Clapton's, which has a ton of reverb on the vocals.

I thought Delaney dropped the ball on Let It Rain, though. Worst mix of 
the 3.

I'd say the "best" mixes depend on the track for me. I'm partial to 
Delaney's After Midnight (already on Crossroads), but Dowd or Clapton for 
Let It Rain, for example.

Too bad they didn't use the Clapton mix as a BB bonus disc or something.
