Cream Fresh Cream German vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Fresh Cream was Cream's debut and the first of their three consecutive fantastic albums made while they were together. Although this is clearly their best blues statement with covers of Willie Dixon's 'Spoonful' and their cover of Muddy Waters classic 'Rollin' And Tumblin'. The album also points to the excellent songwriting of Disraeli Gears and the extensive jamming featured on Wheels Of Fire.
Jack Bruce's collection of originals here are among the best he'd pen for the band whether it was the blues of 'Sleepy Time Time', the excellent 'Dreaming' or the short jamming 'N.S.U.', which would lead to the improvisation of their live shows exhibited on Wheels Of Fire and their live albums. Bruce's bass playing is also very innovative throughout the album and he plays a mean harmonica on 'Cat's Squirrel' and 'Rollin' And Tumblin.' Ginger Baker's drumming is very powerful and innovative throughout, particularly on his compositions 'Toad' and the excellent 'Sweet Wine.' Clapton didn't write any tracks here, however his playing is outstanding, particularly on 'Spoonful' and the Skip James tune 'I'm So Glad.' The band's performances of the cover tunes are very powerful with Jack Bruce truly making 'Spoonful' his own with his excellent vocal performance. Simply a stunning debut from one of the best bands from the '60s. Highly recommended.
The labels display only a handful of spindlemarks around the hole indicating very little play.
Visually, despite being almost forty years old the vinyl has retained it's original shine and has no marks or scratches to show it's age.
Audibly the vinyl plays fantastically with awesome stereo separation. There is no crackle or hiss so common in records of this age.
Housed in a stunning fully laminated picture sleeve which remains in the same condition it was in 1966 with vibrant colours and crisp laminate. A perfect copy!
