Negative Positive
Title: classic collection
Review: To have all of the official Cream releases, both studio and live albums, together in one 4-CD set is very cool. Although I have owned the Clapton Crossroads box set for years, I never had the Cream albums on CD before buying Those Were The Days. Of course the CDs sound way better than the old LPs or tapes I had. Cream is among the elite bands of classic rock, so that's what gets it four stars from me right off the bat. I didn't give it five stars because, as much I am a fan, some of the material sounds dated and doesn't hold up well over time. Also, I don't care for the "book" packaging because it's difficult to take in the car or to store with the rest of my CDs. The standout tracks are too numerous to list, and the lowpoints too few to make note of. Cream was and still may be the epitome of British-blues-rock, which makes their entire discography essential to musicians and fans.
