The Very Best of Cream is a 1995 compilation album by the British rock band Cream; it is not to be confused with Strange Brew: The Very Best of Cream. Wrapping Paper" (Jack Bruce, Pete Brown) – 2:21. I Feel Free" (Bruce, Brown) – 2:54. Sweet Wine" (Ginger Baker, Janet Godfrey) – 3:19. I'm So Glad" (Skip James) – 4:01. Spoonful" (Willie Dixon) – 6:30. Strange Brew" (Eric Clapton, Felix Pappalardi, Gail Collins Pappalardi) – 2:48.

Note, then, that this album, despite the similar title, is a newly compiled 1995 CD/cassette containing all of the recordings on Strange Brew, plus ten more. It is thus the most comprehensive Cream anthology on the market, and includes all the group's essential tracks on a single disc with superior sound in a package containing good annotations.

Pressing Made in Germany by PMDC, Germany as opposed to the Cream (2) - The Very Best Of Cream Made in Germany by EDC pressing. Track 1 originally released as a single October 1966. Track 2 originally released as a single December 1966. Tracks 3 to 6 are from the album Fresh Cream, released December 1966. Tracks 7 to 11 are from the album Disraeli Gears, released November 1967. Tracks 12 to 18 are from the album Wheels Of Fire, released August 1968. Track 19 originally released as a single May 1968. Track 20 is from the album Goodbye, released February 1969.

Sure they were not around as long as some of the other bands in that era, lasting only a quick three years (1966-1968) but what they did for rock music certainly made an impact, on listeners AND musicians. This is one of, if not the best compilation �Greatest Hits� album, just because it doesn�t lack any of their good material from any album, even their debut.

Cream was one of the first power trios to take the world by storm, combining Eric Clapton's flawless guitar playing, Jack Bruce’s jazz-influenced bass and vocal might, and Ginger Baker’s amazing drumming. To make it easy for you, we haven't included Cream singles, EPs, or compilations, so everything you see here should only be studio and live Cream albums. If you want to know the best Cream album of all time, this list will answer your question. Albums range from Fresh Cream (1966) to Goodbye (1969).
