Written by Chris Welch, former Melody Maker journalist and Cream confidante, this newly-researched book is the first full account of rock''s premiere three-man supergroup: guitarist Eric Clapton, bassist Jack Bruce, and drummer Ginger Baker. From Cream''s formation in 1966 to their breakup in 1968, the book analyzes the group''s working methods and offers detailed descriptions of all their recordings. A special section explores the musical interactions of Clapton, Bruce and Baker, plus key songwriters Bruce and Pete Brown. With rare full-color photos throughout, it also includes a complete discography, studio sessionography, and diary of live shows.
