Disraeli Gears

This is is a European imported, digitally re-mastered single disc version of the classic 1967 Cream album, 'Disraeli Gears'.

Arguably the first supergroup, Cream with 'Disraeli Gears' in 1967, achieved massive worldwide success and ensured their place in rock's hall of fame. The album has long been regarded as a classic - transforming Cream from visionary blues based revivalists to psychedelic pop / rock heroes - and was a pivotal moment in the development of heavy rock in general.

Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton created this groundbreaking collection of songs with the help of lyricist Pete Brown, artist and lyricist Martin Sharp, producer Felix Pappalardi and engineer Tom Dowd. Cream had already achieved legendary status on the strength of their impressive debut album' Fresh Cream' in 1966. Clapton had quit The Yardbirds (and then John Mayall's Blues Breakers) to form the extraordinary trio.

As highly talented bassist / singer / songwriter Jack Bruce simply put it: "Cream was a great, hardworking band - Eric was supreme and Ginger the most musical drummer alive." 'Disraeli Gears' features signature Cream tracks, such as "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love" (which contains one of the coolest riffs in rock history). But there are many further delights to be found on here, including the mind-bending "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and blues-drenched masterpiece "We're Going Wrong".
