Cream - Goodbye Tour: Live 1968 (2020) [CD-Rip]

UMe has announced the release of a four-CD special edition of Cream’s Goodbye Tour Live 1968. Out on 7 February 2020, it will feature the first authorised appearance of three complete concerts on the band’s final US tour in October 1968, as well as the whole of their last UK date at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 26 November that year.

The sumptuous package features 36 tracks, 29 of which are making their first appearance on CD. Nineteen of the tracks are previously unreleased, and ten more from the Albert Hall show have only ever been available on DVD. There are liner notes by esteemed rock writer David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who describes Cream’s trailblazing genius and the story of their final tour.

The Goodbye album, first released in February 1969, was a combination of live performances from Cream’s last tour dates and a selection of studio recordings. It hit No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US. The newly expanded edition features the complete shows at Oakland Coliseum, Los Angeles Forum and San Diego Sports Arena as well as the historic Albert Hall show. This was the end, but also the career peak, of one of the few bands in rock history who truly went out at the top.
