One of rock music's first "supergroups" included Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker and was produced by Felix Pappalardi who was later a member of the group Mountain. Cream delivered a powerful album in Disraeli Gears which includes the gems "Strange Brew", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Tales of Brave Ulysses", and "Swlabr".

This one is for people with really big ears who want to hear a real guitar band tear up some killer tunes. No one ever even thought of doing this before Cream. This is Clapton at his best, amazing vocals and bass from Bruce and a "never this good again" Ginger Baker. Sneak this one into your collection and surprise your friends late at night sometime. You will blow their minds!

With Eric Clapton at the height of his incredible powers (and still but twenty two years old!) joined by the incomperable Jack Bruce on bass and booming vocals along with drum master Ginger Baker, this album is a blues rockers wet dream! Slipping in and put of several idioms (jazz, blues, psychedelia...) while being tied together by Clapton's astonishing guitar playing, Disraeli Gears rates at the top of the releases of Cream's all too short career. Sunshine of Your Love stands high as the the most powerful track and continues to represent itself as the hallmark of what a great rock song sounds like. It would be a smash hit if it had been released last week. Eric's impersonation of the great Albert King on Strange Brew (the opening track) gets the ball rolling and the treats just keep on coming. Don't miss this album. One of the best, from the best year in the history of Rock and Roll.
