Yes a single disc can capture all the best elements of the Cream sound. If you are looking for a sampler similar to the old vinyl "HEAVY CREAM" which is NOT out on CD -- this is it. 23 songs. Range from TRAFFIC type sound of 'What a Bringdown' to Jack Bruce's classics like 'I Feel Free', 'I'm so glad', 'strange brew', 'politician' & 'born under a bad sign'. Clapton people get 'Sunshine of your love', 'crossroads' and the 'anyone for tennis' novelty. GOOD remastering and sound! Cream's first single is track one 'Wrapping Paper', a very cool lost 45 highlight.....'SWLABR' (you'll remember it when you hear it) and 'Tales of Brave Ulysses' are here, too, in enhanced mellotron atmosphere.... SOOOO, why did Cream break up? They only worked from mid 1966 (after working with Graham Bond, John Mayall, Alexis Koerner) to late 1968, about two years. Listen and discuss.........
