 The unedited studio version made its US album debut on the "Best of Cream" compilation in 1969.Cream frequently played "Spoonful" in concert, and the song evolved beyond the blues-rock form of the 1966 recording into a vehicle for extended improvised soloing influenced by the San Francisco music scene of the late 1960s.One such rendering, lasting nearly seventeen minutes, is included on their 1968 album "Wheels of Fire".
