Disraeli Gears – CREAM*****

Strange Brew/Sunshine Of Your Love/World Of Pain/Dance The Night Away/Blue Condition/Tales Of Brave Ulysses/SWLABR/We’re Going Wrong/Outside Woman Blues/Take It Back/Mother’s Lament

Disraeli Gears was a classic psychedelic album from Cream which perfectly encapsulates the spirit of '67 in cover, title and content. Includes the UK No. 17 hit single Strange Brew and the US No. 5 Sunshine Of Your Love. (US:4 UK:5)

"This album, 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, perhaps even the greatest, and its influence on popular music thereafter is immeasurable."

"There has never been a power trio quite like Cream. All three members are virtuoso masters of their instruments. Eric Clapton was never better or more of a guitar god, than on Disraeli Gears. This album is an epic of the highest order. And that just scratches the surface of the album's brilliance. Tales Of Brave Ulysses is possibly the greatest psychedelic guitar song ever written. And the overwrought, brain beating, primal stomp of Sunshine Of Your Love is very nearly heavy metal thuggery. This album is just glorious."

"This is one of the most influential records ever, and single handedly captures the feel of the late 60s. Eric Clapton's phenomenal guitar is as good as it ever has been, fusing blues, rock and a healthy dose of psychedelia."

"Great blues/psychedelic rock album. No album combines the two genres of blues rock and psychedelic rock better than this one."

"Cream were one of the best psychedelic rock groups from the 60s and Disraeli Gears is one of the landmarks in rock history. The best way to describe it is taking a trip to a psychedelic place - basically it describes the whole 60s era of music."
