CREAM
Goodbye
...USA - 3 color band Atco - SD 7001
Very first 1969 edition pressing of the famous LAST Cream Lp containing the famous SILVER & BLUE group poster that was only included in the very first pressings ...
***STILL IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAPPER***
Original shrink wrapper still on a famous GATEFOLD is pretty unusual since consumers usually ALWAYS ripped the wrapper off to expose the gatefold ...this copy as new - including shrink wrapper intact!
While the last Lp GOODBYE is far shorter than the rambling, out of control Wheels of Fire, it still boasts the same structure, evenly dividing its time between tracks cut on stage and in the studio. While the live side contains nothing as indelible as "Crossroads," the live music on the whole is better than that on Wheels of Fire, capturing the trio at an empathetic peak as a band. It's hard, heavy rock, with Cream digging deep into their original "Politician" with the same intensity as they do on "Sitting on Top of the World," but it's the rampaging "I'm So Glad" that illustrates how far they've come; compare it to the original studio version on Fresh Cream and it's easy to see just how much further they're stretching their improvisation. The studio side also finds them at something of a peak. Boasting a song a piece from each member, it opens with the majestic classic "Badge," co-written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison and ranking among both of their best work. It's followed by Jack Bruce's "Doing that Scrapyard Thing," an over-stuffed near-masterpiece filled with wonderful, imaginative eccentricities and, finally, there's Ginger Baker's tense, dramatic "What a Bringdown," easily the best original he contributed to the group besides "Pressed Rat & Wart Hog" & "Toad". Like all of Cream's albums outside Disraeli Gears, Goodbye is an album of moments, tight cohesive work, moments are all quite strong on their own terms, making this an appropriate final bow.
CONDITION: The cover in shrink wrapper is MINT (small delete mark at bottom left spine), the vinyl CLEAN M(-), and comes the (CLEAN never "used") poster as well!
