As was often true throughout the British Invasion, the British and American releases of Fresh Cream were different.  "I Feel Free" is not on the U.K. version even though it was the band's first single in Britain, while "Spoonful" is omitted from the original American release – happily it is included on my copy, since it is one of my favorite Cream tracks.  "Spoonful" is also a standout, extended live track on Wheels of Fire.  

Disraeli Gears marked the arrival of the man who became essentially a fourth bandmember in Cream, Felix Pappalardi.  He was the record producer on this album and the next two, and Pappalardi plays many different instruments (often uncredited), particularly on Wheels of Fire.
