It all started four months ago as rumours, it seemed hard to believe that three such musical giants as Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce could be joining together. Soon it became reality. CREAM were formed and here they are. This album is made up of pure fresh cream. Digest and enjoy it, but do not more where this has come from...CREAM

Ginger Baker (Peter Edward Baker)(19.08.1939 Lewisham, South London † 6.10.2019 Canterbury, Kent, England) (drums/vocals)
is undoubtedly one of the greatest drummers in Europe today. He has played of recorded with most 'name' groups and for three years was the driving force behind the Graham Bond Organisation. His unique rhythmic patterns and remarkable technique make him Britain's most outstanding drummer.
Jack Bruce (John Symon Asher Bruce)(14.05.1943 Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire, Scotland † 25.10.2014 Sudbury, Suffolk, England)(bass guitar/harmonica/vocals)
was featured byssist/vocalist with Manfred Mann, and previously played with Graham Bond and John Mayall. Jack is a fiery musician of great feeling and the sounds he produces from his six-string bass and harmonica are quite revolutionaly.
Eric Clapton (Eric Patrick Clapton)(30.03.1945 Ripley, Surrey, England) (guitar/vocals)
epitomises all that is 'blues'. From far shores he is hailed as brilliant and he is truly a great guitarist and personality. Originally a rustic. Eric pursued his musical ideals and became a figurehead with The Yardbirds and John Mayall.
