Amazon.co.uk Review
iFresh Cream/i, the album that introduced this seminal super-blues trio to America, was perhaps a bit too blues-based to do the advance hype ("Clapton is God!") justice. Two of its three best-known tracks, after all, were blues covers; it was iDisraeli Gears/i that turned Cream into a "supergroup." Here they pursue the psychedelic ideals of the era with total abandon (the LP cover art still stands as one of the 1960s' most striking designs), merging these ideals with their take on the blues and adorning the amalgamation with some superb pop craftsmanship. Of the 11 originals here, four--"Tales of Brave Ulysses", "SWLABR", "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love"--earned major airplay. This, their excess-free greatest moment, does the Cream legend proud. i--Bill Holdship/i

 The quintessential Cream. September 16, 2001

Yes there are other albums and singles that may strike your fancy. But this one is the first to come to mind when mentioning Cream. It is too bad that the samples stop before Tales Of Brave Ulysses as each track is unique. Therefor you have to listen to them all to get a more complete picture of this group.pWarning this album is addictive I find my self singing, Sunshine Of Your Love a little too loud at work and then I hear others completing the words from other cubes
A GREAT group, a Great album March 6, 2002

The most together and varied of the Cream studio recordings. Lots of things to discover and admire. A feast of memorable songs beautifully sung and played. They were one of the true groups in rock. Each musician was fantastic and you can hear that here. The drums and bass being as important as Claptons celebrated guitar. To this day Cream never get the respect they deserved. Read any poll of all time top albums and Creams work is usually missing. Thats because all the magazines etc pander to populist, commercial, middle of the road twaddle. Along with Hendrix, Cream pioneered the avenues of heavy rock. The more lauded groups like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones etc are not in the same league. They reproduced the same old stuff year in year out. Cream disbanded when they had no more to say. Clapton has remained famous but how many of todays listeners know of Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. They should because they are far superior musicians than most of the recognised superstars of rock. And Bruce has one of the most amazing voices ever. Buy this and open your mind to a true classic.
Disraeli Gears - Psychedelia Perfected July 24, 2004
Philip Kane (Luton, England)

This is one of the most influential records ever, and single handedly capture the feel of the late 60's. Eric Clapton's phenominal guitar is as good as it ever has been, fusing blues, rock and a healthy dose of psychedelia he created some of the most memorable riffs ever. pFrom the intro to "Strange Brew" to the widly hailed "Sunshine of Your Love" (So good Hendrix covered live it even though he didn't know the words) to moody smokey blues covers to the traditonal "Mothers Lament". pIt's a great album, with top notch musicianship, and for those of you asking "Why is Clapton God?" this will be another step towards realising why. Only 3 or 4 other guitarists can claim the same kind of influence Clapton has. That's it.
Definitive music May 11, 2005

Don't read too much hype on this band. Put simply, they were the definitive heavy rock group - they 'wrote the book' and others simply tried to follow.brThey made only four albums, all four were outstanding and original, all are as fresh and solid today as they were when made.brCream cannot be followed, which may well be the reason for the 'musical desert' since they disbanded.brDon't waste money on compilations and 'live' alternatives - buy the original four albums, and you don't every need to buy another CD.brPerfection.
Disraeli Gears is amazin'! December 14, 2002
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
This album shows just how brilliant The Cream were, recording tracks ranging from "Born under a bad sign" to the hilarious "Mother's Lament" involving all three members putting on cockney accents (well ginger already had one) and singing about the ill fortune of a mother with a very thin child. Disraeli Gears proves that the Cream were on of the greatest bands of their time even Hendrix thought they were amazing! Buy this album with all haste you won't regret it!
