New City is the eighth album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released by Columbia Records in April 1975. It peaked at Number 47 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.
New City marks the return to the line-up of lead vocalist David Clayton-Thomas.




Reception



Writing for Allmusic, critic Jason Elias wrote the album "It does sound promising, but, in all honesty, New City's fortunes seemed doomed from the start."




Release history


In addition to the conventional two channel stereo version the album was also released by Columbia in a four channel quadraphonic edition on LP record and 8-track tape in 1975. The quad LP release was encoded in the SQ matrix system.
New City was reissued in the UK on the Super Audio CD format in 2019 by Dutton Vocalion. This release is a two albums on one disc compilation which also contains the 1974 Blood Sweat & Tears album Mirror Image. The Dutton Vocalion disc contains the complete stereo and quad versions of both albums.
