I already posted this album yesterday, in that budget 2-fer set I have.
We all know it’s a friggin’ classic.
However, I also have these other copies of it, which are fun:
First up is a 24-bit remastered DVD-audio copy, housed in one of those outsized plastic cases. This plays in a DVD-logo player in four ways: Advanced Resolution Surround, Advanced Resolution Stereo, DTS 5.1 Surround Sound, and DVD-Video Compatible Dolby Digital 5.1. It does not work in a regular CD player.
And, of course, I have an old original LP copy. Because CLASSIC.
Hot damn.
The album which made Clapton give up “extended solos and maestro bullshit” and quite Cream. When he heard that, Robbie Robertson said (paraphrased) “What a bummer! I was a big fan of Cream!”

They were a funny idea, those fancy DVD CDs. I heard that the audio components in DVD players were lower quality than CD players, making the idea even stranger. Thank heavens you hung onto the vinyl, Aaron.

I’ve not tried all the options this audio offers, as I don’t have proper 5.1 etc, but it sounded fine to my ears in the DVD. But yeah, the LP is the way to go, natch!
