Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 114/500!

On Cream's second and most acclaimed album, Disraeli Gears (1967), Bruce, Clapton and Baker reach immense peaks in inspiration and technique. The album moved the band beyond the blues into hard-driving, psychedelic pop. This was the album that not only broke the group in the United States but also established Clapton as an international superstar.

"Disraeli Gears is the most pop-savvy of the British supertrio's studio LPs. Producer Felix Pappalardi harnesses the blues-jazz prowess of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker to colorful, concise songs: 'Strange Brew' (slinky funk), 'Dance the Night Away' (trippy jangle), 'Tales of Brave Ulysses' (a wah-wah freakout written by Clapton with Martin Sharp, who created the kaleidoscopic cover art). The hit single 'Sunshine of Your Love' nearly didn't make the record; the band had trouble nailing it until engineer Tom Dowd suggested that Baker try a Native American tribal beat, an adjustment that locked the song into place." - Rollingstone.com
