09 WHEELS OF FIRE CREAM (1968)

-

Cream’s third LP was released at the apex of their short career, showcasing everything that made them special. It became the world’s first platinumse­lling double vinyl album, consisting of two sides of new studio recordings and two sides of live recordings. The opening track and hit single Whiteroom is the quintessen­tial Cream power rock sound, with Eric Clapton’s wah solo a highlight of the album. Born Underabads­ign and Sittingon Topofthewo­rld present British Blues at its finest, and the live rendition of Robert Johnson’s Crossroads features arguably Clapton’s greatest guitar solo.
