Never in the history of rock has there been a band quite like Cream. And never has their tale been told this way before. 

 

Emerging from the vibrant British blues scene of the mid-Sixties, the first ever supergroup brought together the virtuoso talents of Jack Bruce’s thundering bass and powerful vocals, Eric Clapton’s soulful ‘woman tone’ guitar and the extended and electrifying solos of self-styled greatest drummer in the world, Ginger Baker. 

 

From the Twisted Wheel to the Royal Albert Hall, and then on to the 2005 reunion concerts in London and New York, here is the story of Cream told through more than 500 previously unpublished eye witness accounts, with unseen photographs and memorabilia from fans across the world. 

Hardback.
