I CAN WALK DOWN THE STREET,
THERE'S NO ONE THERE
THOUGH THE PAVEMENTS
ARE ONE HUGE CROWD
I CAN DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD,
MY EYES DON'T SEE
THOUGH MY MIND
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD ...
Fresh Cream
is the
debut
studio album
by the British
Rock band
consisting of
bassist
guitarist
and
drummer
Songs and Recording
Almost as
soon as
Cream
were formed in
July 1966,
they entered
Rayrik Studios
at Chalk Farm,
London,
to begin work
on their
debut single
and album with
Robert Stigwood
producing
and
John Timperley
as engineer.
Clapton later noted
that the budget
was minuscule,
working with
four track machines
and basically running
each song
a few times through
until they got a
satisfactory take,
with minimal
overdubbing afterward.
After the band
moved to
Ryemuse Studios
(now known as Mayfair),
the bulk of the album
was recorded between
September and November,
neatly divided between
old blues covers
and original material
penned by
bassist
Jack Bruce,
with two contributions
by Ginger Baker
and two by
Bruce's first wife
Janet Godfrey,
who co-wrote
"Sleepy Time Time"
with Jack
and
"Sweet Wine"
with Ginger.
A session in September
also produced the single
"I Feel Free"
(included on the US version of the album),
the first product
of the songwriting team
of Jack Bruce
and bohemian poet
Pete Brown
which proved a more
typical representation
of their sound than
"Wrapping Paper";
released on
the same day
as the album,
it climbed to No. 11
in the UK charts.
Goodbye
(also called Goodbye Cream)
is the fourth
and
final
studio album
by
with
three tracks
recorded live,
and three
recorded
in the studio.
The album was
released after
Cream
disbanded in
November 1968.
Background and Recording
Just before Cream's
third album,
Wheels of Fire,
was to be released,
the group's manager
Robert Stigwood
announced that
the group
would disband
after a farewell tour
and a
final concert
at the
Royal Albert Hall
in November.
The group started their
farewell tour on
October,4th 1968
in
Oakland, California
and
15 days later
on October,19th
the group performed
at The Forum
in Los Angeles
where the
three live recordings
on Goodbye
were recorded
with
Felix Pappalardi
and engineers
Adrian Barber
and
Bill Halverson.
Compiling, artwork, and Packaging
The original plan for
Goodbye
was to make it a
double album,
with one disc featuring
studio recordings
and the other with
live performances,
like
Wheels of Fire.
With a lack of
quality material
on hand,
however,
the album was
only one disc
with three
live recordings
and three
studio recordings.
