Eric Clapton's is one of the best known guitarists ever but you don't hear him play like this these days. Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce are also on top form and give it all they've got. This works to great effect on White Room, Deserted Cities of the Heart and Tales of Brave Ulysses. The shear speed of the drums and bass create a gorgeous wall of sound over which the riff's and solo's of clapton's guitar are wrought. Its intense, all 3 are lost to their cause and I wish I'd been in the crowd.

This is worth the buy for Steppin Out alone. Fantastic playing by Bruce, Baker and especially Clapton, its just a shame their studio work didnt match the two live albums for passion and energy.

The great trio in full flow and on top form.
Propulsive percussion throughout from the tireless Baker.
Clapton at his hard-edged best and the redoubtable Bruce with his pumping, counterpoint bass and soaring, searching, plaintive vocals.
Opens with Deserted Cities of the Heart, one of the less celebrated Bruce/Brown Cream tracks but one of the best.
White Room is Bruce’s tour de force, the tonsils going where no tonsils have ventured before, or since.
Next up the strangely complicated simplicity of Politician (listen to Gingers complex drum patterns)
And then Eric’s Tales of Brave Ulysses. Wonderful wah-wah from Slowhand. As Bruce’s vocals seem to be losing it completely he pulls us all back from the edge and finds the groove. I think it was Manfred Mann who said that Jack had a ridiculous sense of time. He was right. Even the combined genius of Baker and Clapton must have wondered where he was going at times. Guess that was one of the reasons they split up.
Sunshine of your Love gets the full treatment and it finishes off with the Clapton showpiece Steppin’ Out.

Usual Cream - Gold Top
Overall, I prefer Vol I. Usual exciting Cream fare on Vol II although nothing out of the ordinary (for Cream) until last track - Steppin Out. Read more

Right you are
The companion to Live Cream. Worth the cost for Steppin' Out alone. A must have addition to any serious Cream collection

Great band, poor sound
I won't take up too much of your time, as I don't want to whine and moan too much. Although born at the last stages of the 1970s, I am a lover of bands of that era, of all mixes. Read more

LIKE VOL.1 THIS ALBUM IS AWESOME. RAW, PURE ROCK ENERGY. I BOUGHT THIS WHEN IT FIRST SURFACED @ 1971 AND HAVE WORN IT OUT. SO THE CD WAS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE! Read more

"Steppin' Out" excels
I like to have live albums to compliment the studio versions. Usually variations and environment allow you see what made them great before publishing. Read more
