(Classic Rock) Cream have confirmed details of a career-spanning 6-LP vinyl box set due out next month. Rock's first supergroup release Cream: 1966-1972 on November 24 via Universal Music. It includes the band's four studio and two live sets reissued with reproductions of original artwork on 180-gram heavyweight audiophile vinyl.

Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker roared onto the scene in 1966 with Fresh Cream, introducing a sonic hybrid of blues rock, hard rock and burgeoning psychedelic rock with jazz-influenced drumming.

Disreali Gears arrived in late 1967 and was followed nine months later by the double-album Wheels Of Fire, issued at the same time as the group announced plans to break up after a US tour.

Cream played two farewell concerts at Royal Albert Hall in November 1968 to close out their career. The band's aptly-titled fourth album, 1969's Goodbye, signalled the end of an era and was followed by two live releases - 1970's Live Cream and 1972's Live Cream Volume II. Both were recorded on tour in America during 1967 and 1968.
