THIS DIGITALLY REMASTERED 24 KT GOLD DISC SET BRINGS WHEELS OF FIRE TO LIFE. .......2007-03-24

I will be writing a review on the legendary Two-CD set album entitled "WHEELS OF FIRE" by one of Rock's most greatest legendary bands ever. I give you one of England's pride and joy's, C-R-E-A-M. "WHEELS OF FIRE" was originally released in 1968 on Vinyl/LP and 8-Track on the Atco Records label. This legendary Special Edition Two-CD set album was Digitally Remastered and re-released in 1992 on Two 24 Kt Gold Compact Disc's on the DCC Compact Classics Inc. which is licensed by Polydor Records and RSO Records. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

My friend Metamorpho from Budd, New jersey wrote an incredible review on "WHEELS OF FIRE" and I just figured that I should add this important detail which should not only make a difference, but add more to the CREAM legend and legacy. If you own the "WHEELS OF FIRE" album on Vinyl/LP, 8-Track, Cassette or even Compact Disc, you have not heard this album at its best fullest potential. I have heard this legendary album so many times on Vinyl/LP, Cassette and Compact Disc that a friend of mine that works at the main Watt Ave. Tower Records store in Sacramento, California told me that I should listen to these new Digitally Remastered 24 Kt Gold Compact Discs. My friend continued on by saying that there is a HUGE ENORMOUS difference between the regular Compact Discs and the 24 Kt Gold Compact Discs. While I was checking and going through the selection of 24 Kt Gold Compact Discs, I saw the "WHEELS OF FIRE" special 24 Kt Gold edition album. These 24 Kt Gold Discs were extremely expensive in 1992 since they were the ultimate top of the line in Digitally Remastered sound. I went home and played the regular Compact Disc of this album and afterwards, played the 24 Kt Gold Discs set. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in sound quality. You can actually hear and feel the highs of the treble hiss and the lows for deep pumping bass. What's even better is that you can turn the volume knob more to the right and raise the volume sound levels at higher decibals unimaginable with no distortion. In my opinion, this is the REAL "WHEELS OF FIRE" album as it was intentionally meant to be heard and sound like. As for the band CREAM, this new 24 Kt Gold Disc set really brought out the true sounds of this extraordinary band in a more distinctive detail with a more advanced crisp clear sound giving you the feeling that you're actually there in the studio hearing CREAM record. It is also my opinion that this new 1992 re-release on 24 Kt Gold adds more to the CREAM legend and legacy. "WHEELS OF FIRE" is without a doubt, one of the all-time greatest albums ever recorded. "WHEELS OF FIRE" is also a true testament of three extremely talented masterminded individuals and a fine fitting tribute to a great band that was indeed, far ahead of their time.

Since my friend Metamorpho already reviewed these song tracks, I am only going to review Certain song tracks that are of relevence to this review and two song tracks that were not included on the original album release in 1968.

Now it is time to let the music speak for itself and do all of the talking. On DISC ONE, all of the song tracks were recorded in the studio. This legendary album begins with the vicious forever CREAM trademark song "White Room," the slow merciless Blues Rocker "Sitting On Top Of The World," the unforgetable slow turned fast paced Rocker "Passing The Time (Long Version) NOTE: This long version of "Passing The Time" clocks in at five minutes and forty five seconds long as compared to the original version clocking in at four minutes and thirty one seconds long. I know I am going to start a lot of arguments here but according to numerous biographies, the fast middle part of the long version of "Passing The Time" from 1968 may very well be the very first early known Heavy Metal recording ever made. You also have other critics that will argue that the 1968 song "Helter Skelter" by THE BEATLES is Heavy Metal's first genuine recording ever made. I guess that is for you to decide. Comment this review with your opinions concerning this matter if you wish, I would like to hear what all of you have to say.

On DISC TWO, the album begins with the live segment or portion of the band performing at the height of their career. DISC TWO begins with the blistering Robert Johnson Blues classic "Crossroads," the powerful breathtaking and merciless Willie Dixon slow Blues killer "Spoonful" and the song that identifies why Ginger Baker is one of the all-time greatest drummers ever, the smashing and thrashing "Toad." May I also add that during these live performances that all three CREAM bandmates were burning sizzlin' red hot on fire that night. You can truly feel the power and vibes from the band as they were performing harmoniously and perfectly well together as one unit.

Overall, this is one hell of an album worth seeking and researching further into. You really have to check this album out, it will definitely surprise and amaze you. If you are a harecore and devout CREAM fan or collector, THIS ALBUM IS FOR YOU. I would even recommend newcomers or beginners to the sound and music of CREAM for the first time to check and hear this re-release 24 Kt Gold Compact Disc set. NO ONE WILL BE SORRY FOR BUYING THIS RE-RELEASED ALBUM.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary special edition 24 Kt Gold Two-CD set to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary re-released album has already proven to stand the test of time as a collector's item and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This legendary special edition 24 Kt Gold collector's item is now long out of print but is available through e-bay and amazon. My suggestion to you is if you can find it, BUY IT. This is one genuine collector's item that all diehard CREAM fans and devout collector's would not want to be without.

In closing, CREAM will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for delivering great albums filled with great songs for the whole world to hear and enjoy. CREAM is without a doubt, THE GREATEST THREE-MAN BAND EVER ASSEMBLED. The CREAM LEGEND AND LEGACY LIVES. With their successful historic reunion sellout tour in 2005, there is still a large demand for more CREAM. HOW ABOUT IT GUYS? ONE MORE TIME? So here's to you Eric, Jack and Ginger. Thanks for the great memories. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. CREAM RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

Their best, hands down.......2006-11-11

Wheels of Fire (1968) Cream's third studio album.

One of the biggest debates among Cream fans and music fans alike is whether or not "Wheels of Fire" is better than "Disraeli Gears". Honestly, both albums are ultimately powerful, so it comes down to your personal taste. Cream is my favorite band, and "Wheels of Fire" is not only my favorite Cream album, it's my favorite album of all time. The reason is very simple; experimentation.

Cream had developed their sound after their debut, fusing blues-rock with the new wave of psychedelia. Once that had been established, Cream took it one step further on "Wheels of Fire".

There's the opener, "White Room", one of Cream's most heralded songs. Here we see the psychedelic side of the band, with an unusual 5/4 time signature and a killer guitar solo. We also see the psychedelic stuff on tracks like "Pressed Rat and Warthog" and "Those Were the Days". What this album is probably better known for, though, is its reworking of old blues songs, as well as adding new ones. The covers of both "Crossroads" and "Born Under A Bad Sign" are amazing, and the original bass riff that Bruce constructed on "Politician" is one of my favorites. It was with this album that Cream further pressed the hard-rock cusp.

The experimentation, which I mentioned earlier, is what really draws me to this album. The strange, psychedelic/prog/alternative sound of "Passing the Time" (one of Baker's best contributions to Cream) is insane, and the acoustic guitar that Clapton strums on in "As You Said" is incredible. We truly get a taste of what Cream would have been capable of, being that they were excellent songwriters in their own respect as well as fantastic musicians.

The second disc, "Live at the Fillmore", is where some fans have complaints. I actually don't have any problems with the extended improv acts that they put on, because their reworking of "Spoonful" and Baker's extensive solo on "Toad" are both great. And, as I have said, it features one of the greatist guitar performances not only by Clapton, but by any guitarist period. I speak of the immortal "Crossroads".

SUGGESTION: Of the three good Cream albums (I'm excluding "Goodbye"), you should listen to this one last. Start with "Disraeli Gears" and then "Fresh Cream". Because the sound on this album is so different and innovative, it may not be kind to the ear during the first listen. But believe me, it's a masterpiece, and it will grow on you.

Those Were The Days (Yes They Were).......2006-11-10

I remember when this one came out. A two record set. Wow! Unheard of at the time. The funny thing is it would almost fit on one CD today.

I'm not a fan of the live stuff here. Drum solos aren't my thing, and 20 minutes of "Spoonful" is about 14 minutes too long. The studio cuts are top notch and remain ahead of their time. "Passing The Time" sounds like it could have been recorded in the 1700's. "White Room" remains an all time classic, but what does it really mean?

All in all, an ambitious album filled with great songs.

I bought this only for one song: Pressed Rat and Warthog........2006-08-03

I bought this one only for one song, Pressed Rat and Warthog. I already had Cream's first album Fresh Cream, and a best of album, The Very Best of Cream. Pressed Rat and Warthog is unusual in that the "singing" is a vocal recitative, done in the usual deadpan British vocal style. The British deadpan vocal style can be found, e.g., on any album by the Gang of Four, almost anything by Squeeze, for example, Up The Junction, and in Keith Relf's work with the Yardbirds.

What is more unusual in Pressed Rat and Warthog are the British Isles folk tunes provided by the trumpet and other instruments. I am certain that these melodies also appear in some of Ralph Vaughan Williams' shorter symphonic pieces which, in turn, were copied from folk musicians. There are so many fine British and Irish folk melodies available. It is too bad that these tunes have been popularized only by the Byrds, and by less than a handful of other rock'n'roll bands.

I saw Cream twice, once at the Fillmore in San Francisco where they played with Gary Burton Quartet and the Flaming Groovies. Also, I saw Cream at the Oakland Coliseum, where It's A Beautiful Day was the opening act.

Tune in to the Elephant Race section of Spoonful - pretty good!.......2006-07-29

Sorry, but this is my favorite 'album'of all time. I wore out two vinyl copies of it and still slap on the CD when in doubt about what to listen to. This album is the sixties to me: indeed, when Saturday Night Live lampooned hippie holdovers in a skit, it had them listening to Spoonful from Wheels of Fire.

The Live Disk contains the best stuff you can get- Crossroads in the definitive Clapton treatment, played on a firey Strat above rumbling, volcanic bass lines and precision trip-hammer jazz-rock drumming. The epic treatment of Spoonful still conjures images of Hades, rolling thunder, burning rivers, thundering beasts (the 'elephant race' middle instrumental passage). Also, it features amazing mournful vocals by Jack Bruce, sounding like he is negotiating in blues format for his mortal soul. This rendition is just so doggone inspired. If you listen to it after listening to Cream's studio original from "Fresh Cream" or the Howlin' Wolf original, your mind reels from the comparison. They were really feeling this version. They're playing like the Hell Hounds are really on their trail.

For a time, in the early seventies, I grew tired of the extremely long 'Toad' workout by Ginger Baker, but in recent years, it seems one of the many stellar high points of the proceedings. It's great and it never bores me now. Sure, its drumming for the sake of drumming, but so what? Its effing awesome spectacular unparalleled.

The Studio Tracks
White Room, a big hit for Cream in 1968 is orchestral cum wah-wah mysterious with a spacious sound with vocals by turns ethereal and menacing. It rocks on, I want to say. It was backed on the 45 by Pressed Rat and Warthog (I think), one of Ginger Baker's goof-poetry ditties that always was a favorite of mine. The balance of the songs are amazing. "As You Said", a string piece featuring Jack Bruce on cello and vocal is singular - nothing like it I'm aware of. It has always perplexed, amazed and pleased me when I hear it. The arrangement is super-fine. Deserted Cities of the Heart is a great, underrated track that boils along feverishly. Those Were the Days is an outstanding pop song whose lyrics typify my feelings about That Time (1968)- pure nostalgia written nostalgically at the time. Politician and Sitting On Top of the World are major Cream cuts which most people know. They are essential, bluesy rock classics.

I feel totally at home when I hear this stuff - I always listen to this many times when on a road trip: can't imagine travel without it.

You know, I haven't even mentioned Train Time - blow that harmonica, son!

Can we make this 6 stars?

Great debut and a sign of things to come .......2006-02-25

Cream was formed in june of 1966. The group consisted of 3 musicans: Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals), who gained experience by side of such greats as The Yardbirds or The Bluesbreakers, Jack Bruce (bass, vocals, harmonica) who earlier jammed with Alexis Korner, John Mayall or Manfred Mann, just to mention a few, and Ginger Baker (drums), who was oryginally a jazz player. The group was young, fresh and inspired, so in december of 1966, just 6 months after the band was formed, their debut album Fresh Cream was released. Although time would show that it was not peak of their ambitions and abilities, Cream's debut album is an excellent effort and a blues-rock classic.

Though the band's songwriting abilities were just evolving at the time, They managed to shell out number of excellent tracks. Major songwriter here appears to be Jack Bruce, who co-wrote about half of the tracks with outside musicans. Ginger Baker also threw in some of his creations. And Eric Clapton, though didn't write any songs for the album, helped with arranging blues covers.

The album kicks off with I Feel Free, one of the band's early hits - this song has that psychodelic groove typical for that era - and You can't help but love it. Excellent opener. Next up there is N.S.U. and it features symilar stylings. Powerful and original psychodelic rocker. Sleepy Time Time is relaxing bluesy jam featuring some amazing guitar work. Dreaming, a rather lame attempt at pop, isn't to par up with other bluesy tracks. My least favourite track on the album. Sweet Wine is a great rocker with some more great guitar work. One of the best songs on the album, and of finest Cream's compositions.
Hands down: here we have the classic Spoonful. This song has become a fan favourite, and for a good reason. The band's jamming on this track is priceless. Especially Clapton's guitar work is outstanding. Definately one of the band's strongest tracks.
Cat's Squirell is a nice instrumental, but pales in comparison with other masterpieces on the album. Four Until Late is another blues jam featuring some great harmonica. Rollin' And Tumblin' is a great fast paced furious rocker. I'm So Glad is more pop-oriented that other tracks, but no less excellent. And the closing Toad is Ginger Baker's five minutes. This song opens with a classic guitar riff and turns into an excellent drum solo. It shows Baker's abilities and is a precursor of all later drum solos.

Fresh Cream is an excellent album, but not the best the band would come up with. It is a good and solid debut, but some of Cream's later works sound more inspired and sophisticated. If You want to get into Cream, this is not the best place to start. Get Disraeli Gears - in my opinion the group's finest record of all. That said, I still recommend Fresh Cream for fans of 60s blues-rock and Cream fans.

Major Album of the 1960s. Buy It........2005-09-26

`Fresh Cream', the first of, I believe, four major albums by the first and most famous `supergroup' opened the second act of the great British Invasion of ROCK in the 1960s. I still remember running across the original vinyl album in the Johns Hopkins University bookstore as I was dedicating myself to a mastery of knowledge of the rock universe, at the expense of my studies and various other trappings of middle class American civilization. At the time, I was not familiar with the names of the three principles, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker. But, I was pulled in by the blurbs on the album jacket proclaiming these lads to be the cream of the crop of English bluesmen.

On listening to the opening lines of the very first cut, `I Feel Free', I can recall being a bit unimpressed until Clapton's guitar kicks in and sends the track to an entirely different world. From that point on, every track of the eleven (11) on the original American release was scintillating. To my credit, I was convinced that in my limited experience, which included absolutely no skill with any conventional rock instrument, this was an IMPORTANT album.

This opinion was reinforced by my religious reading of such IMPORTANT journals as `Crawdaddy' and the very new `Rolling Stone' magazine. It lead me to search out the principal's precedents which, for Clapton, was primarily a stint with the Yardbirds and the fondly remembered and little listened to `John Mayall Blues Band'. Ginger Baker was an alum of the Graham Bond Organization, a Yardbirds / Spenser Davis Group wannabe which never made a big impression in the states. At least, it made little impression on me compared to other groups of the same period and style. Jack Bruce performed with Manfred Mann, Graham Bond, and John Mayall, although I have yet to find any album done by these groups on which Bruce appears.

While the original U.S. release had eleven (11) tracks, ending with Baker's `Toad' drum solo piece, this CD follows the original U.K. release with two additional tracks. And, both tracks are totally forgetable. Unlike many Beatles and Rolling Stones albums of the same period, the U.S. record distributor (Atlantic, I believe) did us a favor by leaving these two tracks off the original vinyl. This album and its `drum sola' is probably singlehandedly responsible for Frank Zappa's parodying long drum solos on his various Mothers of Invention albums.

The most amazing thing about this album for me is that, being innocent of Clapton's reputation for guitar prowess when I bought this album, I was more impressed by the lyrics and the ensemble performance rather than Clapton's classic electric blues guitar. The quality of the deceptively simple songs, most written by Jack Bruce, made me all the more surprised when Clapton and Baker broke away from Cream and Bruce to form Blind Faith with Steve Winwood, their second `superstar' band.

This album is always on my list whenever I compile my top ten albums of the 1960's, and it is never at the bottom of the list.

Good debut album.......2004-03-27

Fresh Cream (1966.) Cream's first album.

In the mid-sixties, one of the first major classic rock supergroups was formed - a little band called Cream. The band took former Yardbird Eric Clapton, and equally-notable bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker, and combined their music-making abilities. Although the band's days together were short lived, they made some excellent music together - and this album is where it all began. Read on for my review of the band's debut album, Fresh Cream.

As I previously stated, this is Cream's first album. On this album, the band hasn't quite found its sound yet - but they still manage to shell out a number of good tracks. Eric Clapton, although he is obviously the most popular member of the band, didn't contribute a single track to the lineup, oddly enough. Despite this, his guitar playing is excellent here. Baker and Bruce, who do contribute a few tracks, also play very well. In addition to the band's own tracks, there are also a few cover songs, the most popular one of which is I'm So Glad. But perhaps the most memorable track on the album is Toad, the closing track. This is an instrumental which consists almost entirely of a drum solo. It's one of the first major drum solos in rock history, and it's an excellent one. Ginger Baker deserves some major credit for this one. Overall, this album lacks the polish of, say, Disraeli Gears, but it's still excellent. So what if there's no hit single here? Every song is great.

Now, a brief note about the album itself. The original UK pressings of the album omitted I Feel Free but contained Spoonful, while on the US pressings of the album it was vice versa. This CD reissue of the album has BOTH of these tracks, so you won't have to buy two separate CDs for the sake of a single track. In my opinion, this was a VERY smart move by the record company.

Cream's music is nothing short of excellent, and it really shows here. Although this isn't their finest work, it is still a great debut album, and every band's gotta start some place! If you're a fan of classic rock, by all means pick this album up. You'll be doing yourself a real favor.

For the love of God.......2004-09-24

I just bought this cd tonight and yes it is a bit early to start critisizing, but come on. If you expect this cd to be some good cream hits like i did, its not. This isn't cream like ' oakenfold's 2 years of cream'. This is all vocal rubbish. It's lame mixing and i don't suggest you buy this album. I spend 16 quid on this frieken album and its not worth a fiver. Don't buy it. This is very discoish and i wish i wouldn't of bought, in fact the only reason i did buy this is because i went to an HMV shop and they had a rubbish selection of dance music. I was lookin for ' Great Wall' by oakenfold and this was basicaly all that was there. So don't get caught in the situation i was in. Go to a good dance music shop and get urself a good progressive mix. NOT THIS!

Good tracks, great vocals, lame mixing.......2004-09-06

This compilation is good in the respect that if offers a high number of good, fairly new disco tracks. However, the music is largely bland and uninspired. If you like a monometric background bass, this is for you. However, the vocals are terrific. Which picks the quality of this set up a bit. But, this is disco, after all. This CD is great for putting it in and getting on a treadmill... it is a good pacer. For new mix compilations, though, I will stick with the Hed Kandi series.

lovely.......2004-08-29

Being an opera fan, I'm often disappointed by cross-over albums. I agree with one the of the other reviews that mentions Upshaw are being more successful in this type of repertoire. But Murphy is quite lovely. It was nice to hear a few pieces I was unfamiliar with like "The French Song" and "Times Like This"... and I'm a sucker for "Come to my Garden" (even though I REALLY hated the boy soprano!). Overall, a very pleasant disc - perhaps not too deep on interpretation - but beautifully sung.

Lovely, But Bland.......2003-03-14

I've often enjoyed hearing Heidi Grant Murphy at the Metropolitan Opera House. Her crystal-clear soprano is truly beautiful, light and delicate, yet solid enough to handle Strauss and Mozart. Similar singers, most notably Dawn Upshaw, have triumphed in the musical theater repertory, so why not isn't this disc more successful? First of all, Ms. Grant isn't particularly successful as an actress. While some of the songs (most notably "I Have to Tell You") are beautifully realized, most are simply sung, with very little thought as to their meaning for the "character." In recordings a singer has to paint a larger picture, given the absence of sets, costumes, dialogue etc. Perhaps if we could see Grant's face, we'd know what she were feeling; but, of course, we can't. And as the musical director has advised Ms. Murphy to sing everything on the downbeat, the chances of her actually expressing some emotion are slim to none. Additionaly, I find the arrangements to be either unimaginative or intrusive. I will say that I absolutely love the selection of songs here. "Times Like This" is one of my favorite theater songs, as is "New Words." And what a pleasure to see an album of this sort with selections from "She Loves Me" and "Fanny," one not weighted down with the obligatory Sondheim and Lloyd Weber. All in all, this is a pleasant, lovely disc, one which I don't think you'll be sorry to have. But it doesn't compare to Upshaw's Rodgers & Hart CD, Terfel's Alan Jay Lerner disc, or Te Kanawa's Irving Berlin collection, which had the good fortune to be arranged by Jonathan Tunick.

Bright and lovely.......2003-01-31

This is a CD you don't want to miss. An addition to your special collection of all time favorites. Miss Grant Murphy has a voice that is a pure delight of pleasure; a clear and lyricly treat to the senses. Her Choice of music is different and blends well from selection to selection. Her arrangement of The French Song and (Vanilla) Ice Cream is bright and underlined with wonderful humor. Miss Grant Murphy's rendition of If I Were A Bell is just that...a bell...clear and bright.

Do your self a favor and order Times Like This. Bring an early spring into your life.
