5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Supergroups, November 20, 2005
By Clyde Bouley "CWB" (Berwick, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Where should I start? For one thing this Gold series is the best thing that any company has done for classic rock music. I will be writing for the rest of the groups that I have in the Gold series. 5 stars would not do this justice. For a greatest hits CD this is the best you can get and probably will not get any better now or in the future. Lets start off this way, The Cream is one of the best early super groups around. So you will understand what I'm comparing this too, here is what I have, 1) Fresh Cream (Regular and the 24K Gold CDs). 2) Disraeli Gears (the regular, 24K Gold and Deluxe Edition CDs), 3) Wheels Of Fire (the regular, and 24K Gold CDs), 4) Goodbye Cream (Regular and 24K Gold CDs), 5&6) Live Cream and Live Cream II (regular and 24K Gold CDs). The Best of Cream (regular CD). So everyone understands regular CD means first releases, very little if any cleanup for CD issue. Now to top things off I have The Box set "Those Were The Days". All of this in the quest of getting the best sound quality Cream music. Yes I guess I could be considered a Cream fanatic. Just so you will understand there are other groups I have gone through this with. Buy the way for each of the upgrades they did get better. Topping off with the Deluxe Edition, which I believe is the ULTAMATE! But I seem to be going off on a tangent. So let me say this about the Cream: Gold, 1) They did an excellent job with covering their popular songs. There is more than enough for the casual and the most fanatic fan. 2) The equalization/Frequency response is unbelievably good. 3) The clarity/low distortion is fantastic. I have listen to this with an excellent sound system and a very good set of headsets and tape hiss was virtually removed (At least I could not hear it, those with better hearing may be able too). For those who are interested in Eric Clapton (the early days) along with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce this is the best way to get acquainted. This was well worth the money to get and I highly recommend it to everybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth waiting 4..............., April 26, 2005
By Rindy Negrete "musica" (Moreno Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an ultimate at least for me,as far a good collection.All the hits and more plus the great live cd # 2 is good.But the sound is far superior to the others that came before.Now all we need is a eric clapton(gold)cd.With his old to the present as a soloist,something that I have not seen out there in the stores yet.I have a feeling its coming next from hip o records in the near future.So buy you will be happy with this investment of old rock and roll.They just don't make music like this anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silver Horses Ran Down Moonbeams..., February 21, 2006
What a bargain! Cream Gold is loaded with goodies. You get 4 tracks from Fresh Cream, six tracks from Disraeli Gears (Dance the Night Away is the only notable track missing here), 7 studio tracks from Wheels of Fire (only Pressed Rat and As You Said are missing), the three best tracks from Goodbye Cream and the little ditty called "Anyone for Tennis".

But wait! There's more! Not only do you get all of the above tracks remastered in 20 bit in 2005, you get a live disc that includes a wonderfully barbaric, pounding N.S.U., Sleepy Time Time, Rollin' and Tumblin' (from Live Cream), Spoonful, the amazing Crossroads, and Toad (all but one of the Live tracks from Wheels of Fire), Sunshine of Your Love (from Live Cream II) and I'm So Glad (one of the live tracks from Goodbye).

This is the ultimate collection if you don't want to go out and buy all the CDs. In fact, you get darn near all of Wheels of Fire and I don't think it is even available at this writing.

This is a great remaster, all of the tracks still sound great. Jack Bruce was/is such a great song writer, it's a shame he really doesn't get the credit he's due for Cream's sound. Clapton and Baker are great but Bruce, he provided the foundation with his wonderful song writing skills. It's amazing just how much the young Jack Bruce knew about harmony and melody. And Pete Brown's poetic lyrics are just incredible, especially White Room - a song about losing the center of your world, your love, your "contentment", hoping she'll come back, and then briefly falling for her again at a party only to remember the heartbreak she'll bring:

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

Wow! Bruce and Brown - what a song writing team! I would post the entire lyric (it is so wonderful) but last time I did that Amazon nixed my posting due to copyright blah blah blah.

If you "weren't there" and aren't very familiar with Cream's work, this is a treasure trove. If you are middle-aged, this is a wonderful trip (ha ha) down memory lane!

What are you waiting for, this is a real bargain! Two fantastic disks, newly remastered and positively oozing and overflowing with Cream's best work for the price of a single disk. Unbelievable!
