Disraeli Gears is the second studio album by the British rock band Cream. The album features the singles Strange Brew and Sunshine of Your Love, as well as their respective B-sides Tales of Brave Ulysses and SWLABR. The original 11-track album was remastered in 1998 and then subsequently released as a two-disc Deluxe Edition in 2004.
Early demo sessions for the album were held on March 15, 1967 at London's Ryemuse Studios which yielded rough renditions of SWLABR, Blue Condition and We're Going Wrong as well as three other Bruce/Brown compositions: Hey Now Princess, The Weird Of Hermiston and The Clearout, the latter two of which would be re-recorded for Bruce's 1969 solo effort Songs for a Tailor.
On April 3, following the band's nine shows as part of Murray the K's "Music in the 5th Dimension" concert series which comprised their first tour of America, Cream checked into Atlantic Studios in New York City with label owner Ahmet Ertegun to record a cover of Lawdy Mama. Cream's American label, ATCO, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Records. Encouraged by the results, Ertegun booked more time at the studio for a return visit to the US the following month.
The album was highly praised on release. Melody Maker gushed that it was "a quality-heavy, propelling package of incredible Cream superpower. Clapton's guitar menacing almost like a machine gun, sometimes eerily and overpoweringly persuasive as it reaches serpent-like deep into the Cream's varied and hypnotic musical journeys". Disc & Music Echo raved it "shows the completely individual way the group is developing from their early blues days".
