Cream - Fresh Cream [mono] BLACKICE - is actually UK pressing?

It seems that the rip of Fresh Cream (linked below) is not the original US mono pressing, but the UK pressing. The US version came out 1 year later and starts with "I Feel Free" while the UK version stars with "N.S.U.".

Really don't understand what you mean. The album starts with "I feel free", don't have "Spoonful" but have "Sweet Wine". To me this then looks a US Mono and not UK Mono.

I'm saying that if you download "Cream - Fresh Cream (mono)" from the Definitive Returns/Black Ice series you will get the UK tracklisting (no 'I Feel Free' + addition of 'Spoonful'). No country after the album title is supposed to mean a US pressing. I'm wondering if this is a mistake or if it's actually some other pressing, like a reissue.

You are so right. But this is a very strange one 😉

I download every copy and store them locally. I then put a copy to my Plex system.
The files I have in my plex system has 25 Jan 2022 date on files. Files are taggeg with "Blackice", and the album starts with "I Feel fine".

I had a huge backupcrash and had to redownload my backup copies. I unpacked the backup and see now that the album starts with N.S.U. The files have 10 june 2022 date on files. Files are tagged with "Blackice".

What I takes from this is that he first uploaded a US Mono in 2022. When switching over to new filehost we get a rip of the UK mono, and that he just missed adding "UK Mono". But this is all guessing.

Pb's rip log ends with his AT150ANV/Budgie linage. And my own log is his old log + what I could donwload from old file host and new file host from late 2023.

I just realized that I was wrong. The rip of Fresh Cream is actually the correct, U.S. version. It's just that the tracks are titled wrong, in the metadata and filenames.
