Summary: The CCR-recordings all together!
Comment: Although I like to have all the seperate albums the same as the vinyl ones I ordered this box for a price worth it. What's making it really worth is that you have all the recordings from CCR (even the live-ones) and pre-CCR at once in a very high (remastered) quality. Listen how good John Fogerty (and his bandmembers) really were at that time and still is after all those years!

Summary: Better Than I Remembered
Comment: Some reviews made me hesitate to buy this, but once I did and gave it a listen nothing else mattered. This is great rock 'n' roll and it's fascinating to hear John Fogerty and the Band develop. When they hit "I Put A Spell On You," track 2/CD 2, it's there, the Creedence "spook." Sure this is a Screamin' Jay Hawkins song, but you can hear, right at that moment, a band that has found itself, and there's no looking back. What follows is track after track of tight, focused rock, with the occasional extended groove. The sound of these CDs is fine, and besides, hi fi CCR seems pointless. John Fogerty once said that when he had a demo of a song, he'd take the tape out for a spin in his car to see how it sounded. And you know what, it sounded great, and still does! This is working class, rough edged, roots music; sometimes political (these songs still hold up), sometimes celebrating the joys of childhood and street music, sometimes casting that eerie Creedence spell. "Hope you have got your thing together / Hope you are quite prepared to die / Looks like we're in for nasty weather / One eye is taken for an eye." As Dylan confirmed in 2001, "it's rough out there, high water everywhere." Indeed. Good stuff, can't go wrong, better than I remembered, and it's all here in this nicely priced set.

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
