Cream / Fresh Cream super deluxe

Now updated with full track listing

Cream‘s 1966 debut album Fresh Cream will be reissued as a super deluxe edition early next year.

The release hasn’t been officially announced (update: It has now!) but this is expected to be a three-CD + blu-ray audio package that comprises the UK mono album plus outtakes, mono singles on mono EPs on the first disc, the UK stereo album plus stereo outtakes and stereo remixes on the second disc, early versions, demos and BBC recordings on the third CD and a 24/96 hi-res version of US mono & stereo albums and bonus tracks on the fourth and final disc which is a blu-ray audio (full track listing confirmed below).

This info comes from a post on Bill Levenson’s Facebook page, so he’s clearly involved in the project. Not too many pre-order options at present although the current Amazon UK price of £49 equates to just US $51 (once VAT is deducted).

As you can see from the image above, this comes packaged in a large format book, no doubt with plenty of rare photos and liner notes.

Fresh Cream super deluxe edition will be released on 27 January 2017. A six-LP vinyl edition will follow in April next year.
