Cream

 
Formed in 1966 Cream was the first rock supergroup, with Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums, but you already knew that, so I'll cut to the chase.

Today's freeload is 6 CDs of the four studio Cream recorded: 'Fresh Cream', 'Disraeli Gears', 'Wheels Of Fire' and 'Goodbye'.

But these are not your garden variety, run-of-the-mill versions. They are Japanese limited edition remasters on Platinum SHM-CDs, from 2014.
