“Wrapping Paper” is a song with music composed by Jack Bruce and lyrics by Pete Brown, performed by Cream and originally released as a single in 1966 with “Cat’s Squirrel” as the B side. It is featured on The Very Best of Cream. In contrast with the hard blues of other early Cream songs such “N.S.U.“ and the pop-style of “I Feel Free,“ it has a distinctive slow-jazz style.
