Book description
Dave Thompson, author of Virgin's acclaimed Red Hot Chili Peppers
biography, takes a new and very detailed look at the creation of one
of the world's most influential bands. After all the streets of London
had been covered in 'Clapton Is God' tributes, the three top rock
instrumentalists of their time, all stars in their own right, came
together to form Cream. Cream went on to become the first band to
break open
the lucrative US market by dint of their live shows alone.
Updated to include details of their recent tour, this definitive
account goes on the road with them then and now, day by relentlessly
hedonistic day.
