This is the rarer version with incorrect 'Windfall Music' & 'Apple Publishing' label credits, but correct 1967 dates on both labels). Please note that this album is complete and original November 1967 Reaction Records UK 1st pressing and is priced for its Nr EX vinyl condition and rarety of fully laminated sleeve... This was a short run only and the Mono version was deleted from the Reaction catalogue soon after. Robert Stigwoods Reaction Records in London only released 3 albums in total the Who also were on this label, 1966 and 1967 only all later labels were Polydor. released November 1967 in UK selling 100,000 copies going Gold here...most of these were stereo so the Reaction Monos are now very scarce and sound incredible...later label changed to Polydor in late 67...so its very very rare the Mono and the fully laminate sleeve. Creams debut was recorded at studios during a short 3 day period in New York city.Tom Dowd produced this album which sold many more copies in the US with an amended tracklist than Creams earlier Reaction records Debut `Fresh Cream` This was a ground-breaking album in many ways cementing the Blueprint of a power trio stripped back, many later acts would follow this template..this took Cream further away from their blues based roots and the era of Psychedelic sound...the band were becoming famous for `stretching out` the songs live. Creams second album achieved 1,000,000 Platinium sales in the US following the Summer of Love where the band were now hugely popular in their live shows and extended performances,Eric Claptons guitar had taken on a much more confident and heavier style having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform and shared the stage with Jimi in London during 67, Jimi had taken things to another level and pushed things forwards at great pace. Both Eric and his close friend George Harrison were influenced and it shows here...like many of the guitar players in London at that time. some standout tracks here `Sunshine of your Love` `Strange Brew` written with Felix Papparaldi who would continue to contribute throughout Eric's career. Both of these in glorious Mono are forever linked to the Summer Of Love in books and numerous films of the period...As on the debut the famous sleeve created by designer Martin Sharp who lived at the Pheasantry Chelsea during same period as Eric, photos were selected from shoots in Hyde Park and by some accounts whilst climbing Ben Nevis on LSD.
