Disraeli Gears is the second album from the British super-group Cream, released in November 1967. It contained the group's best known song, "Sunshine Of Your Love".
It was the main psychedelic statement by the group, containing other hits such as "Tales of Brave Ulysses" and "Swlabr". Both of which showcase the amazing relationship between Eric Clapton's guitar and Jack Bruce's bass, with the backdrop of Ginger Baker's unconventional drums.
The album shows a sophistication in the group's music, not seen in their first album "Fresh Cream". It also showcases what is now referred to as the 'fat woman' tone, Clapton's signature guitar tone. It also made heavy use of double tracking, mostly with Clapton's guitar, best heard in "Strange Brew"
This is definitely one of the best albums of the time, as has been a lasting classic, well worth a listen.
4.5/5
