ALTHOUGH “CREAM” WAS ONLY TOGETHER FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO YEARS,
THEIR INFLUENCE WAS IMMENSE, BOTH DURING THEIR LATE-´60s PEAK AND IN THE
YEARS FOLLOWING THEIR BREAKUP. “CREAM” WAS THE FIRST TOP GROUP TO TRULY
EXPLOIT THE POWER-TRIO FORMAT, IN THE PROCESS LAYING THE FOUNDATION
FOR MUCH BLUES-ROCK AND HARD ROCK OF THE 1960S AND 1970s. IT WAS WITH
“CREAM”, TOO, THAT GUITARIST ERIC CLAPTON TRULY BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL
SUPERSTAR. “CREAM” TEAMED UP WITH PRODUCER FELIX PAPPALARDI FOR THEIR
SECOND ALBUM, “DISRAELI GEARS”, A MOVE THAT HELPED PUSH THE POWER TRIO
TOWARD PSYCHEDELIA AND ALSO HELPED GIVE THE ALBUM A THEMATIC COHERENCE
MISSING FROM THE DEBUT. THIS IS A VERY BRITISH RECORD. EVEN SO, THIS CROSSED
THE OCEAN AND ALSO BECAME A MAJOR HIT IN AMERICA, BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF
HOW WHIMSICAL CERTAIN SEGMENTS ARE, “CREAM” ARE STILL A HEAVY ROCK TRIO
AND “DISRAELI GEARS” IS A QUINTESSENTIAL HEAVY ROCK ALBUM OF THE ´60s. YES,
ITS PSYCHEDELIC TRAPPINGS TIE IT FOREVER TO 1967, BUT THE IMAGINATION OF THE
ARRANGEMENTS, THE STRENGTH OF THE COMPOSITIONS, AND ESPECIALLY THE FORCE
OF THE MUSICIANSHIP MAKE THIS ALBUM TRANSCEND ITS TIME AS WELL. THIS
STEREO PRESSING IS THE SECOND ISSUE FROM 1973 WITH PICTURE INNER SLEEVE AND
OFFERED IN ASTOUNDING, VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED CONDITION...
