Additional Creedence Clearwater Revival Information
|
|
Popular but not hip, basic but not shallow, rooted but not retro, Creedence Clearwater Revival distinguished themselves in the late 1960s and early 1970s through these contradictions. This six-disc set is the definitive Creedence collection, offering superbly remastered versions of all of their studio and live albums and adding a disc's worth of pre-Creedence material. The ultimate blue-collar rock band, John Fogerty and CCR found success by wholly giving in to their fascination with the American South (despite hailing from Northern California) and exploring the turf that connected R&B and country--the same turf that their heroes at Sun studios tilled at rock's birth. As the songs on the first disc prove, they hadn't always taken this approach though perhaps they should have: The first four songs from 1961 (by Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets), original compositions in the classic '50s rock & roll style they loved, hold up better than subsequent Golliwogs tracks that attempt to replicate the British Invasion sound in vogue at the time. Still, the Golliwogs tracks offer hints of John Fogerty's menacing growl and biting guitar that would fully blossom later on. When diving into CCR's entire body of work, many myths dissipate and a more well-rounded view comes into focus: the quintessential singles band that dominated AM radio was also quite an album band, releasing solid records from top to bottom even though half of the songs were saturating radio long before the LP would hit. Also, they weren't quite as far removed from their Bay Area brethren (who were reared on the same roots music) as is often stated, offering a number of long and loose jams that, while not overtly psychedelic, gave them and their fans a chance to stretch out. Without question, though, CCR were the kings of the three-minute rock single, and it's these now-ubiquitous gems--the consummate AM band now dominates FM radio--that will always define them. --Marc Greilsamer

Used to have all the CCR on vynal but lost them. Now I have this CD collection & it has extra tracks I did'nt know about.Been a CCR fan since my early teens when I first heard 'Bad moon rising' played at a electrical store & it was on a record player being used as a demo. Onced hearing it I was taken over as a fan.Only found these CD's on Amazon no where else. Highly recomended.
This is a job well done, great sound maybe better than the original. Its a must have for your collection.
If you have this box you have all you need from CCR in a very good audio quality.
cd has some rare recordings great sound this is a good buy.would recommend this all you old hippies like me.
So, your wondering, get this one or the 40th anniversary box set. Also, so the "Live" disc's don't sound really great. Well, I have had this box set for some time and it's pretty good. Sure the bonus tracks are on the newer box set but I got all those CD's at a great discount and not bothering to get the 40th ann version, why buy them over, this has them, sure you miss the remaster bonus tracks but this one gives you all the albums released as well as early tracks (that don't seem to appear on the 40th box). they never did on vinyl and personally CCR was not a great "Live" band in my opinion where as John solo is great "Live". I grew up listening to these guys along with The Guess Who and Three Dog Night in which I probably listened to more CCR then the other two bands so, I really recommend buyers to get this one, for me it was a no brainer but already owning the recent remasters, I will not bother getting the 40th ann box, also the price will be better on this one ;-) so what are you waiting for, get this one, you'll be glad you did.Visit my mini website sometime and say "Hi" Google it "Judemac Forever"
