Cream's first album, "FreshCream" was released in late 1966.
Cream broke up in November 1968 due to clashing egos and divergent musical visions: Bruce and Baker's combustible relationship proved even worse as a result of the strain put upon the band by non-stop touring, forcing Clapton to play the perpetual role of peacekeeper.
Initially another double album was planned comprising live material from this tour plus new studio tracks, but a single album, Goodbye was released instead with three live tracks taken from their performance at The Forum in Los Angeles on October 19, 1968, and three studio tracks, one written by each of the band members.
Robert Stigwood, Cream's manager (and, for a short time, their producer) was also of the opinion that for the group to succeed they would need a "hit" single.
FreshCream, the band's eagerly-awaited debut album was produced by Robert Stigwood, the group's manager.
FreshCream did fairly well in England, reaching number six on the U.K. album charts, and broke into the Top Forty in the U.S. Even so, the band was still playing at village halls and pubs in England.
