(1966)"Wrapping Paper" is a song written by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown, performed by Cream and originally released as a single in 1966. It is featured on "The Very Best of Cream". It is quite distinct in 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. The veracity of this statement is difficult to ascertain, however. In an interview, Baker called the song "the most appalling piece of shit I ever heard in my life.
