I Cream sono stati una band rock britannica attiva tra il 1966 e il 1968, che, rivisitando vecchi schemi del blues, riuscì ad innovare il rock in generale,[4] influenzando molti artisti, tra i quali Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Black Sabbat e Van Halen.Formati dal chitarrista Eric Clapton, dal bassista Jack Bruce e dal batterista Ginger Baker, furono il primo power trio ad aver avuto notevole successo e uno dei primi supergruppi della storia
Other than "Beauty Queen" and the Falstaff beer commercial, this appears to be the only one of those Chalk Farm extra songs that didn't make it onto a subsequent Cream (or Jack Bruce) album.
@EdTracey347 The deluxe edition of Disraeli Gears has a bunch of rare tracks. The Clearout, Weird of Hermiston and Hey Now Princess are gems. Not songs that should've evern been tossed aside. It also has alternate takes and a few versions of Lawdy Mama, which became Strange Brew just with totally different lyrics.
Okay as means of keeping things loose in the studio - Personally I would have burned it before anyone at Polydor or Atco could allow it's release.The best throwaway was "Mother's Lament"-it actually showed a side of them that was humorous & real vs. virtuoso hype
so...........would ginger baker call this the second "most appalling piece of SHIT i've ever heard in my life"....along the lines of "wrapping paper"?
@gazzaboy2531977 a 60's, most likely one made between 63 and 65, Fender VI Bass guitar. it's basically a baritone guitar but it's got the range of a bass. Look up Phil x and fretted americana fender VI bass you'll get all kinds of cool info
it looks like they were being recorded in the second picture, anybody know where that video might be?? im yet to see a video of eric with his les paul...
@metart93 The second picture is from their appearance on a UK music show in Nov 1966 called Ready Steady Go which i beleieve was their TV debut, they performed WRAPPING PAPER and N.S.U, THEIR 1ST SINGLE.
That picture a 211 I know what Ginger is saying : Hey man in the future when im broke and your a rich famous solo artist do you think we'll still be friends ? Eric's reply: Duh I dont know
it wasn't used cause music like this was a joke to them, which is funny cause its better than a lot of stuff that came out during that time. the last thing they wanted was to be a pop group using songs like this.
The Gibson EB3 bass is a really good bass also. .@ 1:19
Andy Fraser (Free), Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones), Trevor Bolder (David Bowie), Glenn Cornick (Jethro Tull), and Chris White (Zombies) all used the EB3 at one time or another. its a real classic
Actually several years ago a Japanese Fender Bass VI was being "reissued" but I don't think it is still being made. It was not very expensive yet quite good. To my knowledge Fender custom shop is the only way to get a new one right now.
yeah!!!!
