DISRAELI GEARS (ATCO Records). This new music group, Cream, serves up a fancy dish of hard rock topped off with choice, albeit bittersweet, lyrics. Drums whip up a froth of steady background rhythms, while the guitars and vocals tread a steady path through the blues of commentary on the human condition...

Some first seek out the local R & R center and gorge on fresh milk, hamburgers and ice cream. Next objective is usually, in the words of a 173rd Airborne trooper, "a girl." But, he added carefully, "I'm also very interested in the cultural bit. I figure I may only be coming this way once." And because they may never come this way again, large numbers of R & Ring...
