Description

This is the original 1968 UK issue, with the matt red Polydor labels, the 582031 catalogue number on the sleeve and labels (the 'Set No.' copies are later presses from c.1970/71, take note Record Collector!!), with the A-2 B-1 A-1 B-1 matrices and the 1-2-/1-3- mother stampers of the first stereo presses..

This is the third album by Cream originally released in August 1968, with studio tracks recorded during July & August 1967 and finally completed in June 1968. The live tracks were performed at the Winterland & Fillmore Theater's in San Francisco in March 1968 during their US tour. The live tracks not used on 'Wheels Of Fire' would later be released as Live Cream Vols. I & II. The band had already announced their split in May and again in July and by their final concert in November 1968, it had become their best selling album......   The Ernest J. Day Group foil gatefold sleeve is intact & in VG+ condition, with some edge/corner wear & light storage rubbing/creasing on the foil outer cover and some light rubbing/scuffing on the inner cover. The spine is intact, slightly worn and mostly readable, and the plain company inners are intact, but are discoloured, creased and in VG+ condition.   The records are in visually in EX condition, sides 1 & 2 have a couple of faint hairlines & one or two small needle marks and sides 3 & 4 have one or two sleeve removal hairlines & light needle marks visible on each side. The labels are in EX condition, clean & bright with evidence of a couple of light spindle markings on sides 1 & 2 and one or two spindle markings on sides 3 & 4.   The sound reproduction is still EX, clear & precise throughout with definately no skips, sticks or jumps, but there is some brief low background noise during the run in grooves, and briefly in a couple of the quieter passages.
Overall, a really great, clear and loud listen which plays really well.   The matrix nos. are; 583031, A//2-420 mother stamper 1-2-2, B//1-420 mother stamper 1-3-1, A//1-420 mother stamper 1-3-3, B//1-420 mother stamper 1-3-2. This is one of the early 1st pressings of the original 1968 UK stereo 1st issue of this album!
