Listen free to Cream – Wheels Of Fire (White Room, Sitting On Top Of The World and more). Wheels of Fire is the name of a double album recorded by Cream. The release was largely successful, scoring the band a peak in the UK and a in the US, and became the world's first platinum-selling double album. If Disraeli Gears was the album where Cream came into their own, its successor, Wheels of Fire, finds the trio in full fight, capturing every side of their multi-faceted personality, even hinting at the internal pressures that soon would tear the band asunder.

If Disraeli Gears was the album where Cream came into their own, its successor, Wheels of Fire, finds the trio in full fight, capturing every side of their multi-faceted personality, even hinting at the internal pressures that soon would tear the band asunder. A dense, unwieldy double album split into an LP of new studio material and an LP of live material, it's sprawling and scattered, at once awesome in its achievement and maddening in how it falls just short of greatness

Wheels of Fire' climbed to No. 1, making it Cream's only chart-topping album. White Room' and 'Crossroads' were both released as singles, with the former making it all the way to No. 6 ('Sunshine of Your Love,' the band's only other Top 10 song, reached No. 5). But the album's legacy stretches further than that. Things were pretty much falling apart for the contentious group by this point, so when they entered the studio for their fourth and final album the following year, the seams were unraveling.

More ambitious than its predecessor, it is a double album, one half being studio tracks and the other live ones. Obviously, there is a lot of material to offer, but this also results in some slight inconsistencies. Nevertheless, the group is still creatively at their best, and the album turns out to be their second (and last) essential work. Take opener White Room, which leaves no doubt as to whether Cream have kept things up. In fact, it may be the best track the trio has ever written.
