The New Cream re-issues

i just checked and fresh cream was produced by robt. stigwood (never my fave), while on the much better followup, disraeli gears, stigwood is listed as "arranger" and felix pappalardi is listed as producer

I always found his production a tad bright in the upper frequency.

For what it's worth, in my opinion the original US ATCO MONO issue sounds best and sounds real good to me (I haven't heard the new re-issue, but many other pressings including original Japan German UK and doubt this new re-issue sound better).

I believe there is also a Steve Hoffman-mastered version on DCC.

Yes there is a Steve Hoffman DCC pressing and they sell for close to 200 on flee bay sealed.I have never heard one though. To my dismay the re issue is the English import set of songs which omits one of my favorite Cream songs I Feel Free.
