No small task for Cream to give "outside woman blues" an even metered rock groove and still keep the essence of the song. First time hearing the original for me.
I'm pretty sure Mark Andes would get picked out as the bass player most of the time in a police line-up. Like the tune and his basses. Looks like a Thunderbird II in those pics? Wonder if he used it when he was with Spirit.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Mark Andes has always been a Precision Bass player. That's not Mark with the Thunderbird in the pic, that's John Staehely, who replaced him after their first album.

Thanks. My bad, must be the heat.
I've been listening to lots of Baroque and Bluegrass lately. Too bad more instruments didn't cross over from ancient times besides the mandolin. It would be something to see a bluegrass group with an arch lute picker.

Wow!  Never heard that before.  Great tune as played (although it could be kind of a sleeper with a less aggressive approach)  and the time-keeping is fantastic. Those guys are right where they should be all through the number.  Impressive.

Unfortunately, even though it is somewhat lacking, this is still the best video there is to this song,

And Tommy Tutone  in 2017, covering Arthur Lee & Love's interpretation of Burt Bacharach's My Little Red Book.

Burt Bacharach supposedly didn't like Arthur Lee's interpretation. I thought it really wasn't that different from the original, which he wrote for the soundtrack of What's New Pussycat.

Film version (by Manfred Mann)





Arthur Lee & Love version (note the Eko 995 bass)

I know, they are a band that will be eternally regarded as the epitome of uncool. Thinking man's Winger.



But they play (and sing) well.
