Music : Fresh Cream
1 2
Rating: 
- Seminal.
Two rock albums in my younger days typified to me great rock music......one was the first Led Zeppelin album.....the other was this...which pre-dated Zeppelin by about 3 years.When I first heard this my mind and musical tastes went into overdrive.Until this album I was totally focused on the Beatles and loved them!!!Fresh Cream showed me something else; but it wasn't until Clapton's extraordinary 'Tales Of Brave Ulysses'on Creams next album,'Disraeli Gears' that I really understood the revolution that was going on in music.Fortunately or unfortunately the Beatles have dominated and have set a superb standard.However,there were many other great bands whose influence has waned as a result.Any new band picking up on this will make a HUGE killing!....This album is a great starting point!
Rating: - Pure class from the band which invented the heavy rock genre
This & the bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton album was the reason, that Jimi Hendrix agreed as a condition to come to England if he was promised a meeting with Clapton!
Rating:
- A good start, but the best was yet to come.
Cream's debut album stuck rigidly to their orginal intentions of being a blues based band as is shown here. No less than four blues covers graced the album with a further three bluesy original numbers. On this C.D there are 3 bonus tracks which were not on the original vinyl L.P. These include the classic "I feel free," the ridiculously commercial "Wrapping paper," and the sublime "Coffee song,". The blues covers are all well executed and perhaps the only real let down is the drum based "toad" which is interesting for the first minute until Ginger Baker starts repeating several tedious drum patterns for another five minutes. This album is good but "Disraeli Gears" was to be better.
