Cream | Wheels Of Fire (Super Deluxe & Expanded Edition)

Wheels Of Fire 5CD Super Deluxe Edition

The 5CD set includes a special, newly remastered stereo version of the nine-track studio portion of "Wheels Of Fire". Originally released in 1968 with CSG-processed recordings, the album is now presented in a remastered, de-CSG’d version, where the phasing has been corrected, giving the recordings greater detail and a sharper soundstage.

Also included are newly remastered mono and stereo versions of the studio album. These recordings originate from the late Cream producer Felix Pappalardi's personal reference tapes, and they have never before been released. They include many alternative mixes.

The collection contains remastered versions of the four live tracks recorded in March 1968 and originally released on LP2 of Wheels Of Fire, as well as eight additional tracks from the concerts in March 1968, including a previously unreleased live recording of “We’re Going Wrong”, recorded on March 10, 1968, at the Winterland Ballroom.

Additionally, a new collection of rarities is included, featuring 15 rare recordings, nine of which have never before been released. The collection includes early versions, alternative mixes, and single versions. Highlights include "White Room (Early Version Mono Mix)", "Deserted Cities Of The Heart (Mono Rough Mix / No Strings)", and "Crossroads (Mono Single Version)", as well as seven additional alternative stereo and mono mixes, three single versions, and two rare live recordings.

The release is rounded off with a hardcover book featuring liner notes by Jim Faber and photographs of Cream from the period. The five CDs are housed in a gatefold cover and come with the book in a sturdy slipcase with a silver lacquered finish.
