Tales Of Brave Ulysses is my favourite. "And when her fingers find you, she drowns you in her body, carving deep blue ripples, in the tissues of your mind." I mean, that's sheer psychedelic poetry. I love SWLABR too, because it's absolutely bonkers, but in a brilliant way. The sound and tone of that guitar on that track is unbelievable too.
Dance The Night Away sends chills up my spine. I just wish they had done a live version. Imagine a 7 minute solo on a 12-string electric guitar from Clapton at his peak.
"Disraeli Gears" has aged like a fine wine 🍷🎸 A truly sensational album. "Dance the Night Away" is a favorite of mine, The Byrds are quite possibly the most underrated band in rock history, so the fact that Cream went out of their way to pay tribute to them is incredible. Much respect to Clapton. Thank you for this video, YP. Great as always 💖
Would have been a really great album except (1) they let Ginger Baker "sing" (2) the production values of the album weren't what they should have been and (3) a guy named Jimi Hendrix came along and took 90% of the wind out its sails.
i love eric clapton "reviewing" disreali gears. the little personal stories behind each song makes them even more precious to me. would to see such entries in this series such as: "pete townsend reviews the who sell out, "brian jones reviews their satanic majesty's request," and "steve marriott reviews ogden's nut gone flake."
My very old Aunt Margaret bought this for me for Christmas in 1967. I was 14 and in love with the band! Aunt Margaret knew how to pick the perfect Christmas present.
I bought it right after it came out, it was my 3rd album ever and I still have it😉. Back then I spent almost my entire allowance on single and album records🥴.
I had a big home in North Georgia on 19 acres & had this album framed hanging on a wall with other classic albums but I lost it all house property and most everything, had to start over and first thing I did was restart my classic album collection with this album, love Clapton u have seen him 5 times in concert such a pro!@ thanks y.p.
It’s a truly great album, one that has really stood the test of time. My favourite track is Tales Of Brave Ulysses, the back story of how Martin Sharpe’s poem became the lyrics for the song adding to the magic of it. Sharpe’s iconic psychedelic cover artwork surely one of the all time great album sleeve designs!

In my opinion, one of the top ten albums of all time.

Eric Clapton must be a saint. He’s the ONLY person that Ginger Baker doesn’t have anything bad to say about.
Personally, i love the singles on DG, but the rest of it is patchy. I much prefer Fresh Cream and Wheels of Fire.

I never get tired of this LP.

Great, love to get info I didn't have before. I've always liked Claptons thinking.
