Cream - Goodbye (180 Gram) LP : Release Information

Cream - Goodbye (180 Gram). LP. (Simply Vinyl - SVLP211) Like Wheels of Fire before it, Goodbye showcases both sides of Cream: that of a late-'60s pop band and that of an unchained blues-rock powerhouse. The live tracks on side one are highly improvised affairs, with even "I'm So Glad" receiving an extended guitar solo from Clapton. How he is able to play such laid-back and tasty blues over the relentlessly aggressive Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker is a mystery. In fact, the real superstar of these recordings is Bruce, whose upfront, distorted bass playing kicks Baker along as much as it challenges Clapton. At times it sounds more like a battle than anything else, battles that Bruce, with his tenacity and pure drive, almost always wins. This Limited edition reissue featuring all original artwork and includes original studio versions of "Badge" and "Doing That Scrapyard Thing" as well as the live tracks. Cream's last and some say best album.180 gram vinyl and PVC sleeve.
