Fresh Cream was Cream's December 1966 debut album. It reached number 6 in the UK and - eventually - number 39 in the US. The British version omitted I Feel Free (then their current single), while the US version contained it, though it dropped Spoonful. The CD re-issue of 2000 preserves both songs in the album's running order.

Miscellanea

  • The track title N.S.U. is an acronym for "Non-Specific Urethritis".
  • Some CD releases also include two extra tracks, "The Coffee Song" and "Wrapping Paper". This was released as a single in the U.K.
  • The original U.K. LP omitted "I Feel Free," and included "Spoonful," while the U.S. LP omitted "Spoonful" and included "I Feel Free." On subsequent CD releases, both songs appear on the album.
  • There was also a Sweden only 1966 12-track release, as UK but adding "The Coffee Song" and "Wrapping Paper". Both vinyl and cover were made in Germany and exported for the Swedish market only - the German original had the same 10 tracks as UK. The group hated "Coffee Song" and didn´t want it issued at all, but a mono version was mixed and coupled with "Wrapping Paper" as a single. There were no plans at this stage to release it in stereo, so for the Swedish issue a crude stereo mix was used. This was made during the sessions in early August 1966 for instructive purpose - the whole track as basic mono is mixed far right and a solo guitar overdub far left. Never intended for release this mix was soon lost and for later stereo issues a new one was made.

Cream (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (690 words)
Cream was a seminal 1960s rock band which featured the guitarist Eric Clapton, the bassist Jack Bruce, and the drummer Ginger Baker.
Cream epitomised the high energy sound of the time, anchored in a familiar blues style; from the traditional classics such as "Crossroads" and "Born Under a Bad Sign," through more eccentric imagery found in "Strange Brew" and "Tales of Brave Ulysses," and culminating in the protracted indulgences of "Spoonful" and "Toad".
Cream made a significant impact upon the popular music of the time, together with The Who providing a heavy yet technically proficient musical theme that foreshadowed the emergence of bands like Led Zeppelin in the later 1960s and 1970s, and contributed to the emergence of most later forms of heavy metal and hard rock music.
