This double album, featuring a disc of studio tracks and a disc of live recordings (made in March 1968 in San Francisco, at the Fillmore West and Winterland venues), was the first double LP to certified platinum. Featuring a suitably psychedelic cover design by Australian artist Martin Sharp (who’d designed Cream’s previous LP jacket, for Disraeli Gears), Sharp also wrote lyrics for Eric Clapton’s quirky ‘Anyone For Tennis.’

A U.S. No. 1 (it reached 3 in the UK), the studio disc starts with one of Cream’s best known songs, “White Room,” it also features a cover of “Born Under A Bad Sign,” as well as Howlin’ Wolf’s “Sitting On Top Of The World,” reminding their audience that Cream were primarily a blues band. The live disc, featuring just four tracks, allow the band to stretch out on their adaptation of Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads,” Willie Dixon’s “Spoonful,” bassist Jack Bruce’s “Traintime,” and closing the set with Ginger Baker’s drum showcase on “Toad.”
