5. Well All Right

7. Doing That Scrapyard Thing
10. Hey Now Princess
This is an all studio version of Goodbye, the last album by Cream. They had planned on releasing it as a studio / live double album like their last album Wheels of Fire, but they released it as a single album instead. Some blogs I've seen expand it to a double album but I'm keeping it as a single album. Each of the three studio songs were written by each of the three members, an idea that would be better executed later in the year by Pink Floyd with their album Ummagumma.
For this we're gonna use tracks from the only album by the supergroup Blind Faith which feature two of the members as well as Jack Bruce's first album Songs for a Tailor. It was his first to be released but his second to be recorded, the first one being an instrumental jazz album. It was recorded during Bruce's time with the band but some of the songs on his first album would be demoed for the Cream album Disraeli Gears. For this I included the solo versions but also the song Hey Now Princess from around this time from the Those Were the Days compilation.
Also included is the song Lawdy Mama, the only studio song from the band's first live album Live Cream, though I think the version from Those Were the Days would've made for a better album closer than Mother's Lament. The Blind Faith album was their sole release as a supergroup which included 2 members from Cream as well as Steve Winwood from Traffic. The duo only wrote a duo of songs but one of them is a long jam which I'm opting to exclude. The other one was written by Eric Clapton but was sung by Steve. Meanwhile Eric sang on Well All Right.
