legendary power-trio cream, consisting of ginger baker, jack bruce, and eric clapton—release both a live album and a dvd recorded at their four royal albert hall reunion gigs earlier this year. tickets for the shows were among the hottest of the year, marking the trio’s first performances in almost 37 years. the nineteen-track double album features many cream classics, including sunshine of your love, n.s.u., white room, and badge. the gigs drew an eclectic mix of international fans, from veterans who attended the final 1968 shows to younger listeners eager to see them live for the first time. despite an initial lifespan of just over two years, cream’s fiery hybrid of blues, psychedelic, and pop made them one of the most influential bands of their era, with fresh cream (1966), disraeli gears (1967), and wheels of fire (1968) cementing their status as one of the world’s biggest bands, while their renowned live performances helped birth stadium rock.

gary numan’s second studio album telekon was released in 1980 and was his third successive #1 album in the uk. gary refers to this album, along with its two predecessors, tubeway army’s replicas and his debut solo album the pleasure principle, as the ‘machine’ phase of his career. while it was hard to follow up the previous releases, telekon proved to be hugely influential. unlike its predecessors, telekon had plenty of guitars, along with strings and lush synthesizer textures. trent reznor claimed to have listened to it every day during the making of pretty hate machine. earlier this year, a visit to gary’s archive allowed for a deep dig, and amongst all the treasures, unreleased telekon material was found. we are thrilled to include four unreleased tracks on this expanded edition of telekon. like a b-film is a completely unreleased, not quite finished track from the album’s sessions. the other three tracks are previously unreleased early versions of please push no more, aircrash bureau, and i’m an agent.
