We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow.

Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied.

Virtually before Wheels of Fire was released, CREAM announced their breakup. They would do one more tour of the US and a final album. Their manager Robert Stigwood planned another double album with a live and studio recording like Wheels of Fire. It was not to be, as Cream was exhausted by December when the studio album was to be completed. 
Instead this single album with three live and three studio songs was released.

    The final tour was carried out under great personal animosity and general duress. These three recordings from it are surprisingly excellent showing that their creative chemistry was such that it could still burst through their interpersonal difficulties. Well it definitely did at the Forum on the 19th October, at least.

    The final studio sessions were carried out in a more relaxed atmosphere after the release of tensions with the end of the band. However, the creative spirit was distracted and only one of the songs could be counted as among their best, but realistically that wasn’t too bad an effort.

    Sound quality is good overall but the mix on the live tracks is at odds with other releases. The bass and guitar are swapped over to the opposite channels and the bass mixed higher which also drowns the bass drums. The effect is rather disconcerting despite the bass guitar being well defined. Felix wanted to highlight Jack’s playing, which he held in the very highest regard. But as to the channel swap – did they play opposite to normal at the Forum?

    The studio tracks are each even more highly produced than any on "Wheels", which is indicative of the problems of the sessions, but also a tribute to Felix.

    The main problem with the studio tunes is that, by this time, everybody in the band hated everybody else, and the effect is that the great brainstorming of the past had disappeared. The result is three tracks where the players are off by their own. One of them, Badge, is a great song, but you know that the co-author, George Harrison, was the one who actually wrote this great melody, NOT Eric Clapton. 
Meanwhile, Jack contributes a electric piano-driven ditty entitled Doing That Scrapyard Thing. It's somewhat humorous, and somewhat catchy, even glad to have it stuck in your head. And finally, Baker's What a Bring-down is one of the better tracks on this album.

    So the main appeal of the album would have to be that Clapton is mostly in top form. His speedy solos on EXTENDED I'm So Glad, in particular, is stunning, and definitely worth the extra effort. Plus, there's a solid rendition of Politician, and a really terrific version of Sitting on Top of the World. The playing is even tighter and more ferocious than in the studio.
