First released as a single in June 1967 in the UK and US,[1] it was later added to their second studio album Disraeli Gears.[2] The song features Eric Clapton on lead vocals rather than the usual lead by Jack Bruce. The single peaked at number 17 on the UK Singles Chart in July of that same year. In the UK, it was the last Cream single to be released by Reaction Records. BackgroundAfter the Murray "the K" Show, Cream recorded a song called "Lawdy Mama" with Ahmet Ertegun at Atlantic Studios in New York. When Cream was working on the sessions for Disraeli Gears, producer Felix Pappalardi took the tape of "Lawdy Mama" and, with help from his wife Gail Collins, transformed the song into "Strange Brew" which according to Eric Clapton "created a pop song without completely destroying the original groove."[3][4] One journalist noted that Clapton at this stage was employing Albert King guitar stylings; and that both "Strange Brew" and another Cream track "Born Under a Bad Sign", "were practically Albert King parodies".[5] Chart historyThe song "Strange Brew" first appeared on the UK Singles Chart on 10 June 1967 at No. 43. It hit its highest position on 15 July at No. 17, and then left the charts on 5 August at No. 35 having spent a total of nine weeks on the chart. The song later appeared on the soundtrack of the 1979 feature film, More American Graffiti.[6] Personnel
