Wheels of Fire

Wheels of Fire (1968) is the name of two record albums recorded by Cream.

Wheels of Fire (in the studio) and Wheels of Fire (live at the Fillmore) were originally two single albums, released together, with similar cover art except one was gold in colour and the other silver, and completely different track lists and slightly different personnel. They were the third and fourth albums released by the band, and the last while still performing together.

It is number 203 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
