I feel ridiculous writing a review of a Cream album because everyone already knows they are among the best bluesy classic rock bands and are essential to any collection. For those who might not be aware, however, this is an album to own and play to death, at a loud setting (definitely at 11). The first half was recorded in the studio and has many classic guitar phrases we've all heard whether we knew what it was or not. Other chords and breaks are still fresh after all these years. Cream has been such a powerful influence that some of it sounds like current MTV stuff. The second CD is from live concerts and gives satisfyingly long guitar, drum and harmonica solos. If you want the ultimate Cream experience, get this one.
