OK, now you're probably all going to say "yeah, everyone knows that", but I didn't so I'm going to tell you all anyway.
Have you ever wondered where the title of this Cream album came from?
Well, apparently Eric Clapton was thinking of buying a bike (I know not why) and one of the roadies said "yeah, those Disraeli gears are good", meaning "deraillieur", and the band thought it was so funny, they used it as the title of the album.

So now you know.

Legend has it that this was a pun on the British prime minister Disraelli back at the turn of the century.

Their best album, though!!!!

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
