Their latest recording, Wheels of Fire, a two-record set inside a silver jacket, proves all this. One record is subtitled In the Studio. It’s nice, but not what you want to get the album for. The trumpet solos spoil whatever mood was trying to be evoked by their superfluous ness and obviousness. It is unfortunate that the group chose to do Born Under a Bad Sign, that fine blues that Booker T. Jones wrote for Albert King. There is really only one good side to come out of the studio, and that is Politician, a track which really gets to the heart of Cream’s very real problem. Because only rarely do they have a good original song to work with, their standard procedure is to put a strong rhythm and chord structure behind it and sort of recite the lyrics, spoken almost rather than sung because there is no melody.

Recorded in 1968 while tensions in the band were mounting, Cream released their last full length studio album (Goodbye doesn’t count!). It is a double album and the first disc is a studio album while the second disc was recorded live.
