Girls on the Avenue

Clapton's commercial breakthrough came with his single, "Girls on the Avenue", 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 Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart in March.

According to Clapton: "Not only did I not feel that Girls On The Avenue was the perfect song, but Festival Records rejected that song six times. They'd say to me, 'What's the chorus, is it 'Don't you slip' or 'Friday night ...'?' I don't know! Why does a song have to have a hook or a chorus? You either like the song or you don't!"

The song was written about his observations of girls from and around The Avenue, Rose Bay (Sydney), though was seen as a paean to prostitutes by the record label, radio commentators and the prostitutes themselves.[8] The song itself took a half an hour to write.
