Although the start of ‘Sunshine of Your Lust’ is missing on Mid Valley’s “Psychedelic Circus”, it’s also missing as well, as I previously stated, on “New York, New York” by the EC is Here label, but it still runs approx. 4:14 in length, and on Super Sonic’s “Garden of Electric Delights” it runs approx. 4:37-long – only approx. 23 seconds longer, so not that much is actually missing. I know this because I just managed to get “Garden of ED” by Super Sonic yesterday – thanks to someone who may be a member here, although that’s not necessarily to say that he or she actually sold it to me or even just merely told me particularly where/how I could track it down.

Unfortunately I’m sorry to say that when I said “in comparison to Mid Valley’s “Psych. Circus” “, that was a rather poor choice of words on my part, since I don’t actually have the MVR version, but based on everything that I read on the ‘Net about both it & the EC is Here version, incl. the CMR review above here, before ordering the EC is Here version, I’m making an educated guess here that the EC is Here version is probably quite similar to the MVR version – possibly only very slightly worse, or possibly only very slightly better. Both probably used the same source(s), and the start of ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ is sadly missing on both. Except that the EC is Here version apparently has the clicking defect near the end that I described above on most, if not all, originals of it, as I finally heard back from the dealer I ordered it from, and he said that his supplier found the same defect on all the ones that he had remaining.

Hey DLee, If you did a comparison between the MVR and EC Is Here, than I would be interested in what you found.

So not even just a single person here is familiar with the EC is Here label’s “New York, New York”? And no one is even interested in it at all?

Anyone possibly familiar with the same show as the factory-pressed silver original 1-CD of Cream called “New York, New York” by the E.C. is Here label (143), which erroneously claims July 12th, ’68 as the date? Do some or even all of the discs have the same manufacturing defect on mine, which I’ve just received? That is, mine has clicking/ticking noises that start somewhat subtly late on the disc, then become annoyingly/irritatingly quite noticeable for approx. the final 3 minutes (approx. 14:00 to 17:12 into the last track – Track 9, which is “Spoonful”). My disc looks to be in perfect new/mint condition, as absolutely no defects on it are visible at all. Any replies, whether you’ve heard the same defect or not, as either type of answer will be very helpful, will be greatly appreciated, as always – thanks. And if anyone has ever been considering buying/ordering “NY, NY”, then this message here serves as a warning about the possibility of the defect I described on its discs. And as for how the quality of “NY, NY” otherwise is in comparison to Mid Valley’s “Psych. Circus”, of which wgpsec’s great review is considerably appreciated (thanks), I’ll be happy to tell anyone who might want to know.
