Tracklisting

 * Cream: 'Crossroads (2xLP-Wheels Of Fire)' (Polydor)
 * (JP: 'This was always me favourite track, though, from their first LP.')


 * Cream: 'N.S.U. (LP-Fresh Cream)' (Reaction)
 * (JP: 'Jack (Bruce) and Ginger Baker had worked together previously, notably in the Graham Bond Organization, and this is a track from Bondie's album The Sound Of 65. I leave you to guess what year that was recorded.')


 * Graham Bond Organization: 'Train Time (LP-The Sound Of 65)' (EMI Columbia)
 * (JP: 'Cream actually had three hit singles. The first of them, early in 1967, was....')


 * Cream: 'I Feel Free (LP-Best Of Cream)' (Polydor)
 * (JP: 'Time has not been very kind to a lot of Cream's music, actually, but that still sounds alright.')


 * Cream: 'Strange Brew (LP-Disraeli Gears)' (Reaction)
 * (JP: 'Cream there and Strange Brew, which was co-written by Eric Clapton. I would very much like to have heard one of Clapton's earlier bands, the Roosters, which also included Brian Jones and Paul Jones (no relation), but the first time I heard him, the first time most people heard him, was with the Yardbirds.')


 * Yardbirds: 'Louise (LP-Five Live Yardbirds)' (EMI Columbia)
 * (JP: 'If I ever find myself in a group of people discussing Eric's greatest recorded work, I usually advance that, actually, mainly because I like to annoy people by doing that sort of thing, but I do think it is excellent.')


 * John Mayall with Eric Clapton: 'Steppin' Out (LP-Blues Breakers)' (Decca)
