"Wrapping Paper" is a song written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown, performed by Cream and originally released as a single in 1966. It features on The Very Best of Cream. It is quite distinct style, a slow jazz number in contrast to the hard blues of other early songs such "N.S.U." and the pop-style of "I Feel Free".
Ginger Baker has claimed that he and Eric Clapton disliked the song and that Bruce and Brown went behind their backs to release it as a single. In an interview, Baker called it "the most appalling piece of shit I ever heard in my life." See http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xmG_MxbGIfk
