When they released their third album in June of 1968, Cream decided to something a bit different.  "Wheels of Fire" was a double-album, which was rare enough in those days, but one album was recorded in the studio and the other featured live performances.  For me the results are mixed and "Wheels of Fire" ends up being rated four stars because I can just about divide the fourteen tracks in half between three star and five star songs.  Reduce the double-album to a single one with five studio tracks on the "A" side and two live tracks on the "B", and you just might have the best Cream album of all.  Fortunately, this is a lot easier to do with a CD.
