The caption on page 87 should state that Fresh Creams first UK release was on the Reaction label, not Polydor.

Bands with small line-ups managed because of the volume we played at. It compressed everything: harmonics were created that wouldnt normally be there, and you literally heard music that wasnt there. You heard noise within the noise. Pete Townshend on Cream, 1997
