Cream Chronicled is the fourth book for Wymer by Ginger Baker’s daughter Nettie. Although Cream only lasted two short years (officially from July 1966 until November 1968) their live (and recorded) output was exhaustively prolific and inevitably led to the band’s burn out and sudden demise. Cream were resurrected briefly for the Hall of Fame induction in 1993 and the ecstatic reunion concerts that took place in London and New York in 2005.
Cream Chronicled is the very first time that every show has been researched chronologically with a detailed academic eye, but is far from dry and dull. Using contemporary newspaper reports, diary entries and first hand accounts, Nettie has weeded out the fact from fiction surrounding this iconic band and put all the tired old myths to bed.
Cream began in Ginger’s front room in Neasden (with Nettie present) and died on from non-stop touring, much of which she also attended.
Forget everything you thought you knew about Cream and join them as it happened on a unique and thrilling ride through the mid 1960’s popular culture boom, accompanied by never before seen photographs and rare insights from those who were really there at the time – and what’s more, can remember it!
