LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

4LP special editions colored vinyl /picture disc box set

When the band formed in 1966, Eric Clapton was already fairly well known, having performed and recorded with the Yardbirds and John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, but it wasn’t until Cream that Clapton became a global superstar. Breaking free of the traditional rock & roll song structure for a more improvisational / jazz influenced take, the band’s long jams gave birth to a whole new approach to rock music. When their debut album, Fresh Cream, was released in 1966 it immediately became the standard by which all other bands of the era were judged. They went on to release three more groundbreaking albums before their disbanding in 196 9. Don’t miss your chance to get these amazing collectors editions of three of the four official Cream studio albums in one vinyl box set. The set includes Fresh Cream on clear red vinyl, Wheels of Fire (studio) on white vinyl and Wheels of Fire (Live) on white vinyl and Goodbye on picture disc.
