Hi Patto

Yes , 100% first legit issue on Cream. The instrumental was mixed at Grand Prix studios in Philly specially for release on Cream Records. The mixing , by Walt Khan, gave the track a stronger sound ,especially bringing the sax part out front. I've often wondered who the saxophone player was as it has a Mike Terry feel to it. 

There is more about the record in the article - Mocha and Cream-The Global Records Story posted by Mark Windle in April.
