I love this album. If you want to hear the best live song ever put on vinyl (sound quality excluded) then listen to "Sitting On Top of The World." Jack Bruce's voice, which to me is in the same league as Lennon, Jagger, Jim Morrison and Stephen Stills, is in top form.........hard to do live. Although "Badge" is a great song, it pales in comparison to "What a Bringdown" and "Doin' that Scrapyard Thing." Though it is obvious that Zeppelin, the Beatles and Jimi will never play again, I would pay alot of money to see these guys play live again. Here's a toast to one of the five greatest bands to ever grace the Rock and Roll stage. Cream, after all these years, you still deliver.

Well, Cream's swan song Goodbye has been finally given a total overhaul, sonically speaking, and issued on a gold CD by
Mofi. This CD also incorporates a reproduction of the original poster included in the original Atco release back in '69. This
LP featured a half live/half studio collection of treasures and is a total blowout on this ULTRADISC II gold CD. For the price
around ... you can't go wrong and yet get any better as far as having Cream right there in your own private listening

room! Whether they are in concert "Sitting On Top Of The World" or in the studio with "Doing That Scrapyard Thing' it is all
marvelous from beginning to end!

Any rock music fan who honestly listens to this album and does not feel it is worth the purchase price must think E. John's "Philadelphia Freedom" belongs in the all time classic 100. These live cuts are true, raw, and well delivered. The "Big Muff" and other cosmetic pedals are left in the studio. Any of you Barry Manilow musicians out there that are not convinced of Bruce's talent can try playing the bass line of "Sitting On Top..." while singing. The idiot that reviews The Cream for The Rolling Stone obviously thought that The Electric Flag and Chicago were the leaders and the ones that were going to leave the lasting impression on the music world.

Why the h--- does everybody hate this CD? I know...because it doesn't sound like the original Cream recordings. Well, I as a music fan believe that no track on this album is weak. God save the Cream.

This is a classic valedictory effort from the Cream trio. This kind of heavy blues is not to everybody's taste of course but if you want some samples of early Clatpton soloing just listen to Politician and Sitting on Top of the World - guitar playing of subtle distinction.

Cream had a few good tunes. A very few. Avoid this album at all costs. "Badge" is the only bright spot on an album from a band that was filled with nauseating musical indulgence and bad singing. "Badge" would be better on Eric Clapton's first solo album or a collection of Cream. At least with the later you get a few other tolerable songs by this band. Goodbye and good riddence to this CD.
