"Wheels of Fire ... was also the first record album to go "Platinum.")" Is that supposed to mean the first record album to go platinum, or their first record to go platinum? If it's their's, then maybe it should be changed to read "their first record" and if it's first ever, then maybe it should read "first record ever" to make it less ambiguous. A quick google search turned up a few saying Cream were the 'first' to receive a platinum record, but I couldn't find anything definitive or anything that said in no uncertain terms that this was the case. --AA, 21:00 UTC, 9 Jan 2004
I question whether Wheels of Fire was originally released as a double. In Australia at least, it was two single albums (which I bought as soon as I could afford them and still have). Andrewa 05:53, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I can find no evidence of a double Wheels of Fire being released before the single albums, I think it may be an urban myth as I remember that people have always wrongly assumed that they were a double. So I'm removing the claim. Happy to discuss it further. Andrewa 19:04, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
An LSD influenced rock and roll power trio from the 60s with Jack Bruce on bass, Eric Clapton on guitar, and Ginger Baker on the drums. Cream produced albums like Wheels Of Fire featuring trippy cry baby enhanced guitar leads and sometimes political lyrics.
