Hi Fred,All of the Cream albums were re-issued about 1976 or '77. on the RSO label (Robert Stigwood Organistion) with original English cover art. The original recordings were on Reaction records UK* - subsidiary of Polydor, and were released over here, licensed from Polydor on Atlantic's pop label Atco records (later W.E.A). *[Stigwood was Australian immigrating to England and getting into the entertainment/ record business. Reaction was his own label - also released the Who's early recordings. Very soon he went to Polydor, and cut some kind of deal - licensing? - for them to press and distribute his label.] I'm not sure of why or how the status of the U.S. LP's changed, but sometime after 1970, Atco-Atlantic may no longer have had the American rights to this material. I think Live Vol. 1 & 2 may have been deleted and cut-out first, then all the earlier releases. At some point Robert Stigwood began operations in the States with RSO records - best known for the release of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. And about that time, the Cream albums were brought out again on his label. Thanks for listening! - as there are "subway nuts" it is not uncommon for record collectors to become "record label history nuts"... |
