2. Clapton's commercial breakthrough came with his single, "Girls on the Avenue",
(originally) issued in January 1975. Although Festival had little faith in the song
—initially releasing it as the B-side of "Travelling Down the Castlereagh"—it was
picked up by radio and became a major hit, reaching the No. 4 spot on the
