Cream – Best Of Cream
Released in 1969, Best Of Cream brings together many of the defining recordings from one of rock's most influential power trios. Featuring the legendary line-up of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker, this essential compilation showcases the band's groundbreaking fusion of blues, rock, psychedelia, and jazz improvisation that helped shape the future of classic rock and hard rock.
Although Cream's career lasted just over two years, their impact was enormous. Their virtuosic musicianship, extended live performances, and innovative songwriting inspired generations of guitarists and bands, making Best Of Cream the perfect introduction to one of the most important groups of the 1960s.
The album opens with the instantly recognisable Sunshine Of Your Love, one of the most iconic guitar riffs in rock history. This is followed by the melodic Badge, co-written with George Harrison, and the explosive live version of Crossroads, widely regarded as one of Eric Clapton's greatest performances. Side A also includes the psychedelic masterpiece White Room and the energetic SWLABR.
Side B continues with the blues classic Born Under A Bad Sign, before the epic interpretation of Spoonful showcases the band's remarkable improvisational chemistry. Tales Of Brave Ulysses blends psychedelic rock with Clapton's pioneering wah-wah guitar, while Strange Brew and the uplifting I Feel Free round off a collection packed with timeless classics.
Whether you're discovering Cream for the first time or adding an essential compilation to your collection, Best Of Cream is an indispensable album for fans of classic rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, and Eric Clapton. Featuring many of the band's biggest songs, it remains one of the finest introductions to one of Britain's greatest rock bands.
