Cream- BBC SESSIONS- CD- 25.03.2003- Polydor Ltd. (UK)/Universal Music Company- 044007604823- 400 grn
26 live-in-the-studio performances by Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, only two of which have been released before! Includes renditions of then-current singles like I Feel Free, previews of upcoming album tracks like Sunshine of Your Love and versions of concert favorites like Crossroads, all recorded between October 1966 and January 1968. BBC SESSIONS is a live album by the British rock band Cream, released on 25 March 2003 on Polydor Records. It contains 22 tracks and 4 interviews recorded live at the BBC studios in London. Between 21 October 1966 and 9 January 1968, Cream recorded eight sessions for the BBC radio network, selected highlights from seven of which are featured in chronological order on this collection. Only the versions of "Steppin' Out" and "Lawdy Mama" had been previously released, although both were released on Eric Clapton's Crossroads box set, not by the band itself. BBC SESSIONS was later included as the third disc in the "limited edition box set" release of Cream's 2005 compilation album I Feel Free – Ultimate Cream (also known as Gold). A major find!
PERSONNEL: Eric Clapton – guitar, vocals; Jack Bruce – bass, lead vocals, harmonica; Ginger Baker – drums, percussion, vocals.
When Cream came together in 1966, the band was perfectly positioned to add a different dimension to the burgeoning British music scene. Building upon the blues inspired output of the Animals and early Stones, Cream harnessed the talents of its members and coupled these attributes with a musical knowledge and sophistication rare for young musicians of the period. The result was a potent mix of rock, jazz, and American Delta blues far more advanced than anything previously heard. Cream’s music reflected the pedigree of its members. The three joined forces and in a relatively short time became the preeminent power trio, laying the groundwork for the future by creating a model for heavy blues based rock. The release of BBC SESSIONS adds to the band’s legacy by showcasing its capacity for brilliance even in spartan confines. Recorded over a period of 14 months and seven separate gigs, BBC SESSIONS provides glimpses of the band in its developmental stages, and evidences its incredibly rapid coalescence into the ultimate heavy virtuoso group. Comprised of 22 tracks, the album travels at light-speed from shortly after the band’s formation in 1966 to several months shy of its breakup in 1968. The scope of the material runs the gambit from classic tunes to lesser-known compositions, and uniformly displays Cream’s remarkable musicianship throughout each recording session. As Cream was firmly grounded in Southern blues based roots, the inclusion of various covers into its repertoire was not surprising. BBC SESSIONS is certainly a welcomed addition to the Cream catalogue, if not for its imperfect sound quality but rather its historical significance. Many of the featured tracks were at the time new releases or works in progress, all of which highlight the band’s efforts to perfect each song’s possibilities. Additionally, the recordings harken back to the days when bands were capable of making quality music without sprawling drum kits and massively overblown walls of amplified sound. In a way, the BBC recording sessions were to the ’60s what MTV Unplugged became for the ’90s, an ideal vehicle for groups to display their wares in a minimalist environment. For Cream, performing in the various BBC venues afforded them the opportunity to showcase their significant talents, and demonstrate how great the band truly was.
