OK, I hadn't realised 'Goodbye' was a stand-alone album. From the title it sounds as if might have been made to satisfy contractual obligations. I will have to track down a copy.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
I've done a bit of research (Wikipedia!) and apparently Cream released four studio albums.
This being their debut:
Followed by Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire (which as you say was a double), and finally Goodbye (which was part studio and part live).
And as for Blind Faith, it seems there was just the one studio album, but alternative sleeves might make it look like there were others.
(As an aside, I have long tried to find out the lens fitted to the camera Clapton is wearing on the cover of 'Fresh Cream'. As a Leica enthusiast, it's been driving me crazy!)

I might have been too harsh. They are not bad, but not especially good either. From the scores of US bands around at the time, there were many far better bands: Blood Sweat and Tears; Moby Grape; Nirvana; Peanut Butter Conspiracy; Jefferson Airplane, etc.OK, thanks for that; I think it's a bit too cream crackered to be worth trying to sell. I get the feeling from Barry's comment that it probably wouldn't be worth the bother anywaybut, I'll reserve judgement until I give it a listen for myself; after all, it's my opinion that matters when it comes to it.
I hope you can clean up the record and play it. If I had seen a copy in a boot sale, I could well have bought it 'on spec' if it going cheap.

+1 - absolute legend - check out the Bran Van 3000 track "Astounded" from Discosis which I posted recently, one of my favourite tracks ever.
