An in its way quite remarkable compilation. Not posing as any kind of "Greatest Hits..." or "Best Of...", instead named after their most unutterable song title. And apart from "Badge", which did OK in UK but not so much in the rest of the world, and "Strange Brew", the tracking is more about their less hit oriented stuff. I find the sleeve design, where the members are buried in some kind of tubed paste, very bracing, but it was hardly inviting enough to attract a larger public. Top that with two of the songs comes misspelled - "World Of Paine" and "Cat's Squirrl" - and it can be seen as a lemon in the Cream discography. But it does give an opportunity for those not familiar with the band already to dig a little deeper in the songbook and maybe enjoy some of their less crowd-pleasing moments. All cuts are the original stereo mixes and the audio very good. Naturally a must for any Cream collector worth the name, but also fitting for the beginner who want a deeper knowledge. As I understand originally a German compilation, also issued on vinyl in France and Downunder. First Scandinavian had label as shown here in a thin fully laminated cover. (CCÖ*) (CÄRÄ*)
