Sorry, old friend, for flaming you on the Song Title thread, but BUABS is one of Cream's very best songs, and one of my favourites, with beautiful guitar work from Eric Clapton. Pity there isn't a clip of it, as it featured in their Farewell Concert. I'm sure you know it was Cream really and it slipped your mind.
Perhaps I'm harder on you than on the average because I think highly of you and you're a mate.

Hell Jabs, I've included the Hendrix version as it's on his Blues CD and the only one I know!

I don't know the Cream version at all. I'm afraid I think Clapton somewhat overrated! Some will want to kill me for saying that, but in the ear of the beholder.................

You might modify your opinion a bit, if you heard Clapton's playing on this song. It really is beautiful music, with the accent on music. You might even think the guitar is a musical instrument. But chacun and all that, and sorry again.
