Die Geburtstags-Auflage von Fresh Cream wird am 27. Januar erscheinen und vier Tonträger enthalten. Mono- und Stereo-Mischungen des Originalalbums werden enthalten sein, ebenso Singles, Material früher EPs, Alternativ-Versionen, Outtakes sowie Aufnahmen der BBC von Dezember 1966.
1966 brachten Gitarrengott Eric Clapton, Bassist Jack Bruce und Schlagzeuger Ginger Baker bunten Psychedelic-Rock und Blues sehr eigenwillig zusammen: Ausgedehnte Instrumentalpassagen sorgten in ihrem Sound für Überlänge — vorher ein Privileg des Jazz. Auf ihrem Debüt waren es vor allem gewiefte Dekonstruktionen von Blues-Klassikern wie ›Spoonfull‹ (Willie Dixon) und ›Rollin’ And Tumblin’‹ (Muddy Waters), die Cream zum Antrieb nutzen.
