Cream’s 1968 album, Wheels of Fire, is getting a Super Deluxe Edition chronicling the full creation and fruition of the supergroup’s—Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce—groundbreaking third album. The expanded title, to be released on 5-CDs on June 12, 2026, via Polydor/UMe, features newly remastered mono and stereo versions of the studio album, live performances, and 15 rare recordings, nine of which are previously unreleased. The collection is available to order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.

The set includes a special, newly remastered stereo version of the nine-track studio portion of the album. Originally released utilizing CSG processed recordings, this remastered, de-CSG’d version now presents the album phase corrected, delivering the recordings with greater detail and a crisp soundstage.

The newly remastered mono and stereo versions of the studio album are sourced from the late Cream producer Felix Pappalardi’s personal reference reels. These recordings have never been released before and include many alternate mixes.

The collection features remastered versions of the four live tracks recorded in March 1968 and originally released on LP2 of Wheels Of Fire, alongside eight additional tracks performed at those concerts, including an unreleased live recording of “We’re Going Wrong,” recorded on March 10 at Winterland Ballroom.

A newly compiled rarities collection features 15 rare recordings, nine of which are previously unreleased. This collection includes early versions, alternate mixes and single versions.

The set is completed with a hardcover book featuring sleeve notes by Jim Faber and photographs of Cream from the era. The 5-CDs are housed in a gatefold sleeve and, together with the book, are enclosed within a rigid slipcase with a silver lamination finish.
