Goodbye Tour - Live 1968

Four CD set. Goodbye Tour -Live 1968 is the first authorized release of these four historic complete 1968 concerts. Each concert features previously unreleased tracks and the Royal Albert Hall show hasn't featured on CD until now. Having decided to call it quits whilst on tour in the US during May 1968 by way of a farewell, Cream agreed to undertake more live shows, predominantly in the US later that same year plus two final UK dates at the Royal Albert Hall that November. Originally released in Feb 1969, Goodbye originally mixed live performances from those last tour dates with a handful of studio recordings and rose to the UK #1 slot and #2 on the US Billboard. Goodbye Tour -Live 1968, as the name suggests expands the recordings from the 3-piece powerhouse's last tour. This historic collection was produced by Bill Levenson. The Oakland Coliseum, Los Angeles Forum and San Diego Sports Arena concerts were mastered from the original 1968 analog mix reels by Kevin Reeves at Universal Mastering, Nashville, TN. The Royal Albert Hall concert was mastered from the original 1968 analog transfer reels by Jason NeSmith at Chase Park Transduction, Athens, GA. The set features 36 tracks of which 29 are issued for the first time.
