Ah, Disraeli Gears - for me one of the most enigmatic albums of all time. The first LP (long player-vinyl) I ever bought, the cover design of which inspired, and carved my career in the arts. I enlarged and copied every minute detail of this album cover, which hung in our schools entrance hall all term. This piece was followed by a flow of psychedelic works that won me a place at Art college.
Let´s not diverse too much, the design was by Bob Whitaker and Martin Sharp (great work).
The album was released in November 1967 in Great Britain and America, and entered the Top 10 in the UK. Sales reached 1,000,000
Cream consisted of Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. Heroes of an unrepeatable era.
Never heard anything of a reformation in these years, but for sure they are out there somewhere,excellent musicians of this era never fade away completely. Eric Clapton of course is still out there making good music, Thanks Eric.
Best tracks Strange Brew, Sunshine of your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses.
Thanks to Cream for a memorable album.
