Disraeli Gears

Description

This deluxe reissue (available at mid-price) features
digital remastering and enhanced packaging with authentic artwork, plus new
photos. Tracks: “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” and “Mother’s
Lament.” Fresh Cream, the album that introduced this seminal super-
blues trio to America, was perhaps a bit too blues-based to do the advance
hype (“Clapton is God!”) justice. Two of its three best-known tracks, after
all, were blues covers. It was Disraeli Gears that turned Cream into a
“supergroup.” Here they pursue the psychedelic ideals of the era with total
abandon (the LP cover art still stands as one of the 1960s’ most striking
designs), merging these ideals with their take on the blues and adorning the
amalgamation with some superb pop craftsmanship. Of the eleven originals here,
four–“Tales of Brave Ulysses,” “SWLABR,” “Strange Brew,” and “Sunshine of
Your Love”–earned major airplay. This, their excess-free greatest moment,
does the Cream legend proud. –Bill Holdship
