Ginger Baker is without question one of the foremost drummers of his generation having founded Cream and Blind Faith. In the early 1990s, Geoffrey Giuliano received an unsolicited call from Mr. Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography. From there a turbulent, yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two men.

While the book has yet to be published, here at last, are the in-depth, upfront, and personal conversations the two recorded in an upstate New York studio all those years ago. For everyone interested in the history and cultural significance of the popular music of the 20th century this series is an exclusive must-have audio event.

Episode Five: Ginger turns on to heroin and the burgeoning British music scene of which he soon became an integral part. For the hard-working drummer stardom was on the horizon.
