Description

Cream - Fresh Cream

RARE 1966 UK Mono Original • Reaction Records • A//1 / B//1 Matrix

A true British blues-rock cornerstone

A rare original UK mono pressing of Cream - Fresh Cream, released on the legendary blue Reaction label in 1966. This is the debut album from Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker — three musicians who helped shape the sound of British blues rock, psychedelic rock and hard rock for generations.

This copy is especially interesting for collectors because it carries the early matrix numbers 593001 A//1 / 593001 B//1, making it a highly desirable early UK mono cut. Not a modern reissue — this is the real period pressing with all the atmosphere, history and character.

Condition

Vinyl: VG Very Good

The record has been used and shows visible signs of play, including hairlines, light scratches and surface marks. Playback may include some light background noise or occasional crackle, but the record remains enjoyable and suitable for regular listening. No skips are reported, and the music still comes through with strong vintage mono character.

Sleeve: VG Very Good

Original sleeve is in good vintage condition for its age, with visible edge wear, corner wear, creasing, ring / storage wear and age-related marks. The artwork remains attractive and fully readable, with great 1960s visual presence.

Please study all photos carefully. They form an important part of the description. If you need more photos, please message me — I will gladly provide them.

Collector note

Early UK mono copies of Fresh Cream on Reaction are becoming harder to find, especially with the desirable A//1 / B//1 matrix combination. This is a proper collector’s piece with honest vintage wear, perfect for anyone who values originality, history and authentic 60s sound.

Carefully prepared

The record will be supplied with a fresh inner sleeve and the album will be placed in a new clear protective outer sleeve. We treat every record with care and respect, including vintage copies with age and character.

Packaging & shipping

Packed securely and professionally in strong vinyl mailer packaging with protective stiffeners. We take great care to make sure your record arrives safely.
