Heres what the Eric Clapton-FAQ says:
Further On Up The Crossroads (Why Not / quality varies) • This four-CD box set collects material starting with the first Rhythm & Blues Festival in Birmingham in 1964 (with Sonny Boy Williamson) through the summer of 1990 (the International Rock Awards). The great majority of tracks fall into the SB5 - SB6 range. It has things like a selection of Cream's BBC performances; an early electric version of "Can't Find My Way Home"; an alternate take of "Cold Turkey" from 1969; and rare live performances of "I've Got A Rock N Roll Heart', "Knock On Wood", and "Phone Booth" (with Robert Cray). It also collects the audio from many of Clapton's television performances. Note that this set was reissued in early 1999 on the EC Label and does not come in a deluxe long box with a multi-page book. The content and the quality of the CDs are identical. From Eric Clapton Bootography:
