“I Feel Free” by Cream

"I Feel Free" pairs Pete Brown's words with Jack Bruce's music, and it's a snapshot of how wide Cream could swing, welding blues rock to psychedelic pop in one bright package. In Britain, Reaction Records put it out as the band's second single and it climbed to number 11; Robert Stigwood chose to leave it off the British edition of Fresh Cream and sell it as a single instead. Across the Atlantic, Atco made it Cream's debut single and set it at the front of Fresh Cream, the group's 1966 first album.

It was cut at Ryemuse Studios onto an Ampex reel-to-reel tape machine, with Stigwood and John Timperley doing the recording.
