LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the landmark albums in rock history, Cream's 1967 classic DISRAELI GEARS, has been set to receive DELUXE EDITION treatment featuring a digitally remastered two-CD package that debuts a previously unreleased track. The CDs are packaged with a 24-page booklet with photographs and an essay about Cream's extraordinary history.

DISRAELI GEARS - DELUXE EDITION (Polydor/UMe), released September 28, 2004, boasts a stereo Disc One and mono Disc Two. The second album in the short but spectacular career of the pioneering power trio (Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker), DISRAELI GEARS helped lay the groundwork for the coming hard rock and heavy metal of the '70s. An inspired collision of blues, jazz, folk and psychedelia recorded in just six days, the Gold #4-charting album spawned a Gold #5 hit in "Sunshine Of Your Love" and other classic rock standards "Strange Brew," "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" and "Swlabr."

Disc One presents the album in stereo with two outtakes -- "Lawdy Mama" and a previously un-issued version of "Blue Condition" with Clapton as lead singer -- plus demos of "We're Going Wrong," "Swlabr" and three songs that didn't make the LP though they would later appear elsewhere: "Weird Of Hermiston," "The Clearout" and "Hey Now Princess."
