Description:

CREAM was rock's first true "super group". Combining the extraordinary talents of ERIC CLAPTON, GINGER BAKER and JACK BRUCE, this power trio became the template for many hard rock acts of the seventies. The band remains a huge influence on the genre even to this day.

Powered by hits such as "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of Your Love", Cream's second album, DISRAELI GEARS, 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.

This addition of Disraeli Gears to the acclaimed Classic Albums series features brand new interviews with Clapton, Baker and Bruce, along with lyricist Pete Brown, Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, John Mayall and Manfred Mann. Also included on the DVD are acoustic performances, original studio tracks and archival live footage.

1. Strange Brew
2. Sunshine Of Your Love

5Disraeli Gears review  Aug 13, 2009
Got some interesting insight into the making of the album, including exactly how Clapton played some key riffs and an excellent insight into Baker's use of African rhythms for Sunshine of Your Love, etc. If you want to dig deeper into the making of the album, then get this DVD.

4Those were the days...  May 30, 2008
This is a fine look at the making of a classic album with the participation of all the living principals. It should satisfy the curiousity of all interested parties.
Players will find the bonus material to be highly instructive. Never wonder how to play those licks properly again!

5Why Clapton is God & Cream ruled   Jul 16, 2007
The Disraeli Gears lp or Buffalo Springfield Again ? I chose Gears, loved Sunshine and the flourescent cover
fit the zeitgeist(was a time a great cover broadcast it's content as the same). Beyond the folky Mother's Lament
it was wonderful to hear three masters explore rock. Too bad producer Felix Pappalardi is gone now.

The details recalled are deliciously presented; loved the flashes of female breasts and vintage pix/film(VH1 edits all, so PC). Have Hendrix's Electric Ladyland this series too, can't say enough for the research and presentation.

I listened with renewed interest to Dance the Night Away and Tales of Brave Ulysses, even dug out Pete Brown's
Battered Ornaments. Watching Eric replay specific classics was a true joy.

1Just interviews and almost no performances  Jul 10, 2007
I just want to warn anyone who thinks that this DVD contains footage of Cream performing their songs that they perform just one song, "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" -- and you won't find it by watching the movie. You have to click on "Bonus Selections" to find it.

Otherwise, the movie is just interviews with band members and others reminiscing about the songs on the album.
