thanks to runo for rip, thanks to all friends for help    release by server_alliance  Review by Rob Bowman Wheels of Fire was a two-album set, one disc recorded in the studio, the second disc recorded on stage in San Francisco. Side three contains the definitive live version of what became Clapton's signature piece, Robert Johnson's "Crossroads," plus a version of "Spoonful" that clocks in just short of 17 minutes. On such pieces, Cream approached blues-based rock with a jazz aesthetic, using the song as a framework to begin and end a performance. The strength of the performance is in the improvisation. When it worked, as it does on "Spoonful," they were brilliant. When it didn't, as on "Traintime" and "Toad," the band became excess incarnate. The studio disc contained their second Top Ten single, Jack Bruce's "White Room," as well as a stunning cover of Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign." Other tracks, particularly those written by Ginger Baker, do not hold up.

Да, это был мой самый первый золотой диск, который я преобрел! Это, конечно, запись далеко не аудиофильского уровня, но то что удалось Стиву с ней сделать, это ЧУДО! Звук настолько реален и могуч, что ты невольно представляешь себя на концерте Кримов в далеком марте 1968 года. Да, помимо редкой песенки Anyone for Tennis, Passing The Time включена в оригинальном "необгрызанном" виде, с длинной средней частью ("забоем"_!). На всех пластах и на CD она была уже кастрирована до меньших размеров.
