Cream "Disraeli Gears" 2007 Lilith Ltd. 180g Vinyl, Mono, LPReissue of the 1967 Classic. Manufactured in the EU under the license of Universal Music, Russia
I have about 4 copies of this LP including a recent reissue in mono (not opened yet )What did you think of it............Bill
You've got 4 copies of the Lilith pressing? Or 4 copies total? What can I say... It's Cream. The Lilith 180g pressing is extremely quiet on my system. I like the mono, as it feels true to form in a Cream "sound" kind of way. Big fat wall of sound- everything coming straight at you. Seems like the Lilith reissue delivers a bit more "lift" and "presence" to the music, but I gotta say that I've always thought that Cream albums sounded a bit dull & heavy and somewhat lifeless... even though I just love the music. This edition seems very true to the band's form, but again I would say that there's not much "sparkle." Maybe Cream isn't about "sparkle," so... I just TURN IT UP and that compensates! This is a long way of saying that I like it fine... but is the special reissue worth the price? Dunno ?
Hurricane be damned. This showed up today.
I asked myself how did I miss these guys? And as I think back on 1974 it was the year I graduated from law school, my oldest daughter was born, studied for and took the bar exam and started work. I think I answered my own question. Didn't buy many new records or listen to the radio that year.
