[Slowhand] RE: Disraeli Gears reissue

[Jon Maclean]

I'm a little surprised by this one really. If you already own "Those Were 
The Days", the 1997 4-disc set that covered Cream's entire recorded output, 
then this release is redundant. Perhaps the sound quality is enhanced yet 
again (although I thought 1997 technology wasn't too shabby), but there 
can't be any MORE unreleased tracks because we got them all last time. This 
would have to be for diehard completists only, so I just can't see the 
point.

Cheers,
Jon
