Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

The best one-record distillation of Cream -- the first and best power trio! 4 ½ Stars Cream were the first and best power trio, whose brand of highly amplified, free-form playing took blues and rock in new directions. Although Cream were only together for a little more than two years, their influence was immense, both during their late-'60s peak and in the years following their breakup. Cream were the first top group to truly exploit the power trio format, in the process laying the foundation for much blues-rock and hard rock of the 1960s and 1970s. It was with Cream, too, that guitarist Eric Clapton truly became an international superstar. The best of their studio recordings were excellent fusions of blues, pop, and psychedelia. The first of a long line of Cream anthologies, the 1969 Best of Cream was a ten-track compilation featuring nearly all of Cream's U.K. and U.S. single hits. The exceptions were "Wrapping Paper" and "Anyone for Tennis," which were not much missed, especially when instead you got tracks like "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Tales of Brave Ulysses." In fact, for a long time Best of Cream served as the best one-record distillation of Cream." 4 ½ Stars
