Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Fresh Cream, the album that introduced this seminal super-blues trio to America, was perhaps a bit too blues-based to do the advance hype ("Clapton is God!") justice. Two of its three best-known tracks, after all, were blues covers; it was Disraeli Gears that turned Cream into a "supergroup." Here they pursue the psychedelic ideals of the era with total abandon (the LP cover art still stands as one of the 1960s' most striking designs), merging these ideals with their take on the blues and adorning the amalgamation with some superb pop craftsmanship. Of the 11 originals here, four--"Tales of Brave Ulysses", "SWLABR", "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love"--earned major airplay. This, their excess-free greatest moment, does the Cream legend proud. --Bill Holdship Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - One of the very few classic rock albums that are actually classics.I am 17 year old and i'm a massive fan of heavy metal, I love most types of music from Heavy Metal to Blues to abit of Indie to Instrumental rock and all types of rock from 60s 70s and 80s. 2 of my friends who have similar taste in music as me really like Eric Clapton so I checked his greatest hits and that was brilliant. Then I decided to start my Cream selection and bought this and i love it. This awesome rock/blues album was made famous by the song Sunshine Of Your Love, which is a brilliant song but there is more to this album then that song. The best song for me here is World Of Pain it's amazing and the vocals on this album are brilliant. In conclusion, this album is brilliant and should any music lovers collection whatever ...

There are going to be people out there who have no interest in this album, but a lot of them will be people with a very narrow view on music, and tastes which fall into very specific confines. This album, however, is one of the most important and great albums in the history of popular music. Eric, Jack and Ginger, influenced by some of the greatest music released up until 1967, went into the studio for their second album together and recorded something that not only paid a respectful homage to the Blues legends, but something that stood near the forefront of the blossoming psychedelic scene. It remains today one of the great psychedelic albums, alongside "The Piper ...

The people at the record company who put out a deluxe edition in stereo AND MONO noticed, though rarely do these people show this sort of intelligence and responsibility. 40 years ago when I first got to know this it was a mono copy I had - on vinyl of course. When I acquired a CD copy some years ago at first I couldn't understand why I felt so let down but I soon realized that it was the stereo mix that was to blame; it was neither the quality of sound with the transfer to digital nor the music itself thankfully, although not having heard my old copy for some years, for a short time I was uncertain whether my ... Read More: Rating: - Simply the best album of my teen years!If Cream recorded this album in 3 and a half days, what would it have been like given a week, or a fortnight? Maybe it would have been better, possibly, it might have been worse. Spontaneity was obviously a key factor, and this may be the reason it is an 'all time classic.' At 16 when it was released, I had the stereo copy even though the equipment used was mono, and I virtually wore it out with repeated playings. It was 'the album' of the era of Hippy-dom surrounding it, and 'tiny purple fishes runing laughing through your fingers' just about gave everyone exactly what they wanted should they be taking an LSD trip at the time. The first CD issue of this album was hastily undertaken, blatantly re-recorded from the master-tapes with little care, the background ... Read More: Rating: - Forgotten how good it is?If you haven't done so recently put your CD of "Disraeli Gears" into your best hi-fi system, turn it up and play it straight through. Different... you bet. Not only does the incredibly rich sound just jump out of the speakers but the sheer power of the songs played back-to-back is quite stunning. That's what it was like when you originally bought the LP, and that's how it should be heard to remember why it's one of rock's "classic" albums. Best of all you can use the wonders of modern technology to skip over its two fairly serious aberrations, "Blue Condition" & "Mothers Lament", to end up with a superb set of genuinely progressive "psychedelia meets the blues" that, on the way, features some quite breathtaking interactions between ...
