Phase-Corrected Audio: CD1 The restoration completely removes the original CSG process that was used in 1968 to make the stereo mixes compatible with mono radios, revealing a far crisper, more detailed soundstage. The 5CD super deluxe edition of features a 2026 remaster and a previously unreleased phase-corrected version of the entire album. The latter version was achieved by using software to reverse the Haeco-CSG effect originally applied to the album. This was a 1960s audio processing technique intended to make stereo recordings compatible with mono turntables but had a side-effect of ‘blurring’ the stereo imaging. The first CD offers the remaster of the original followed by this new version that removes the Haeco-CSG effect.
CD 2 offers Wheels Of Fire stereo and mono reference reels, sourced from producer Felix Pappalardi’s personal collection while discs three and four deliver Live At The Fillmore Auditorium & Winterland Ballroom – tracks from the March 1968 shows used for Live Cream (1970) and Live Cream Volume 2 (1972) with a previously unreleased version of ‘We’re Going Wrong’
The fifth and final CD features 15 remastered rarities, including early versions, alternate mixes, single edits and live recordings (nine previously unreleased tracks).
Wheels Of Fire was originally released on 14 June 1968 in the US; less than a month later, the three-piece – Ginger Baker (drums, vocals), Jack Bruce (bass, lead vocals) and Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals) – announced that they were going their separate ways…
