Post Description
Cream were a 1960s British rock supergroup power trio consisting of bassist/singer
Jack Bruce (14 May 1943 – 25 October 2014), drummer Ginger Baker, and guitarist/singer
Eric Clapton. Their sound was characterised by a hybrid of blues rock, hard rock and
psychedelic rock, combining psychedelia-themed lyrics, Clapton's blues guitar playing,
Bruce's operatic voice and prominent bass playing and Baker's jazz-influenced drumming.
The group's third album, Wheels of Fire, was the world's first platinum-selling double album.
Cream are widely regarded as being the world's first successful supergroup.
Those Were the Days is a retrospective compilation of music recorded by the English
rock band Cream, released on 23 September 1997. It comprises four CDs and catalogues
every track from their four studio albums, plus live material recorded in 1968. The title is
taken from the song written by Ginger Baker and Mike Taylor, released on the album
Wheels of Fire in 1968.
