About this album

Wheels Of Fire is Cream at their most ambitious and most celebrated, split between a studio album and a live set that captured the trio’s improvisational power in full flight. Released in 1968, it followed the band’s rapid rise as one of the defining British power trios of the era, with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker pushing blues rock towards heavier, more expansive territory. Studio highlights such as White Room and Politician sit alongside extended live workouts that underline the group’s musicianship and volatility. The result is one of the key albums of late-1960s rock, and a landmark in the move from blues revivalism to psychedelic hard rock.
