'Wheels of Fire' 5CD super deluxe edition chronicles the full creation and fruition of Cream's groundbreaking third album. The set includes a special, newly remastered stereo version of the nine-track studio portion of 'Wheels Of Fire'. Originally released in 1968 utilising CSG processed recordings, this remastered, de-CSG'd version now presents the album phase corrected, delivering the recordings with greater detail and a crisp soundstage. Also included are newly remastered mono and stereo versions of the studio album. Sourced from the late Cream producer Felix Pappalardi's personal reference reels, these recordings have never been released before and include many alternate mixes. The collection features remastered versions of the four live tracks recorded in March 1968 and originally released on LP2 of 'Wheels Of Fire', alongside eight additional tracks performed at the March 1968 concerts, including an unreleased live recording of 'We're Going Wrong', recorded on 10th March 1968 at Winterland Ballroom. A newly compiled rarities collection is also included, featuring 15 rare recordings, nine of which are previously unreleased. This collection includes early versions, alternate mixes and single versions.
