@Axol@simonp@jubaloo@florencevibert At London's Speakeasy nightclub in 1967, Sharp fell into conversation with Eric Clapton, who disclosed he had just written a tune, to which Sharp replied, “I've just written some lyrics”. Scribbling on a napkin, he handed the verse to Clapton, along with his address. On the napkin were the words to Tales of Brave Ulysses.
the brilliant creators of those album covers that was a big part of the culture years ago must be honoured..Cream,Yes,Hawkwind...so many, great artists from every medium.

@moondog that makes sense, i always thought the lyrics were vastly superior to anything Cream came up with
moondog
@raal Yes, it's definitely my favourite track by them.
