Cream’s breakthrough sophomore LP is where blues rock, psychedelia, and pop all came crashing together. The result was one of the commercial touchstones of late ‘60s rock. And, while it hasn’t aged as well as many other benchmarks of the era (owing arguably to the strong and competing wills of the band’s trio of virtuosos, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce, this double-disc deluxe reissue captures one of rock’s trailblazing supergroups in all its excessive glory. On the first disc, the 11 tracks that made up the original record (highlighted by the hits "Sunshine of Your Love," "Strange Brew," "SWLABR," and "Tales of Brave Ulysses") are fleshed out with two outtakes and five demos. Disc Two repeats the entire album and the two demos in mono, and tacks on nine-track performances culled from three 1967 and ’68 BBC sessions. --Steven Stolder
