Posted by Express Rider on Mon Oct 27 01:31:41 2014, in response to Re: RIP Jack Bruce, posted by Olog-hai on Sun Oct 26 23:04:42 2014. Thanks for posting this one too!I was working as a bus-boy out here on L.I. (at Linck's Log Cabin) in Centerport, during the summer of '67. One of the other guys bussing there was a musician. I told him I liked heavy (as in loud and body shaking) bass guitar, from standing close to the bands that played in various Battles of the Bands at my HS. He told me I had to listen to Jack Bruce, 'the best bass guitarist in the world,' who was in this group called Cream. I bought Fresh Cream within a couple of days or so, at our local Modells (when it was still a department store). Was it ever some kind of different stuff. A little wilder and more frantic than the early Stones.... I like the psychedlic lettering on the cover above, the UK version*, much better than the "straight" lettering on the American cover. *this cover finally released here during the mid-late 70s. |
