Story & Background
The release of *Fresh Cream* in 1966 on Reaction Records is a fundamental chapter in the history of vinyl and music. This short-lived but iconic label was specifically created by Robert Stigwood, Cream's manager, to launch the band. Stigwood had sensed the explosive potential of the "supergroup" and wanted his own label to completely control its image and distribution in an era of growing artistic autonomy. Reaction's bright yellow design and the audacity of a debut on a newly formed label testify to the confidence in the band and its immediate impact on the music scene. This first British pressing on Reaction is not only Cream's recording debut, but also the tangible sign of a far-sighted managerial and artistic operation that would redefine rock.
