It would be hard to find two performers whose careers turned out more differently. The legacy of Hendrix is based on a meteoric, incredibly brief career, and just three albums. (All subsequent albums were released posthumously). Clapton, in stark contrast, is one of the few survivors of that era still performing, and looking relatively healthy at that. But this is where it gets tricky. A quick scan of Clapton's post-Cream work reveals nothing wonderful, and much that is just all right. A good percentage would sound right at home in a doctor's office waiting room.
To get an idea of what a young, incendiary Clapton was all about, get hold of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton and play Steppin' Out. That's two-and-a-half minutes of speed, bite, and raw blues power you won't soon forget, absolutely mind-boggling. The formation of Cream, which happened soon after leaving Mayall, found Clapton teaming up with two other highly talented players, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Baker, on drums, was perhaps a bit more show than dough, but Bruce was a prodigy, and actually the real secret behind Cream's success. Clapton would say later, "I was under Jack's spell for a while." In addition to his amazing voice, Bruce reinvented the role of the bass guitar, in effect, making Cream a three-person band with two guitars. Innumerable bands have tried to copy this formula, without success.
In one sense, it doesn't matter which Cream CD you buy, they're all great, especially Wheels of Fire which features a live version of Crossroads so dazzling it belongs in the Smithsonian. In time I may re-collect them all, but I began with Goodbye, primarily for the three live tracks: I'm So Glad, Politician, and Sittin' On Top Of The World. I'm So Glad is pistol-hot; Bruce is working the bass almost as hard as Clapton is working the guitar. Politician grinds and bends with an almost unbearable seductiveness, Clapton unloads and simply walks the dog on that one, riveting. Closing out is a cover of the standard, Sitting On Top Of The World, and it is as close to a perfect example of ramped-up electrified Delta blues as you might ever hope to hear.
The studio tracks are fine, but beware, they were written in the days when I Am The Walrus was chic, don't expect meaning or even logic. Cream had the wit to quit while they were at the top of their game, this CD proves it. What's ironic is that tracking the post-Cream career of Jack Bruce is much more rewarding than tracking Clapton's. As far as Baker is concerned, all NYT obituaries notwithstanding, he's still not dead. Highly recommended.
This record has been remastered and the sound is fantastic. You can hear everything clearly. Depending on which instrument you
concentrate on you will be able to enjoy it to the max. This is the best time I've ever had listening to Jack Bruce. That man was a
mad genius. If God played the bass, this is how he'd play it. While I was expecting arrival of this record from Amazon, I didn't know
that Jack had passed away just this past Saturday. I was shocked. There will never be another like him. There are some super players out there, like Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorious, but even they could not outdo Jack. He was one of a kind.
But no matter who your favorite Cream member is, you will love this record. Get it and see.

リマスター盤だったので購入しました。
やはり一曲目の「アイム-ソーグ-ラッド」の演奏は圧巻です。スタジオ曲も3曲ありますがどれもいい曲です。
Ich habe von Cream zum ersten mal in der vom BFBS damals ausgestrahlten, legendären Staturday-Show gehört. Tracks aus dem Überalbum "Wheels of Fire". Als ich Montags nach der Schule im Plattenladen unseres Dorfes danach fragte wurde ich erst mal angeschaut, als habe ich versucht die Fachverkäuferin wegen ihrer Beehive-Friese zu verarschen.
Doch nach Suchen im Katalog wurde die Doppel-LP bestellt und nach Erhalt blieben die beiden Scheiben die einzigen Tonträger, die unseren Plattenteller belegen durften. Anschließend wurde alles von Cream angeschafft, was beschaffbar war.
Diese Goodbye-CD klingt im Vergleich zu den drei LP's, die ich davon, habe etwas unterkühlt und enger.
Trotzdem gibt es hier fünf Sterne, da die Musik eigentlich zehn verdient hätte. (Meiner Meinung nach)
