I've said it before, I think the Layla album is thin crappy tone.  It
sounds like a little amp with no balls and fizzy speaker breakup.  I
don't like that tone.  And I like a lot of various different tones,
not all Gibson/Marshall, but I don't think the Layla album tone is
good.  A few songs on that album were better than others, but I'm not
a big fan of the tone of that album.
