CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL/CREEDENCE GOLD F-9418 (-72) US

 


 Sometimes when getting a "Best Of..." or Greatest Hits" it can happen you don't agree with what's presented as such.  But to my taste this is exactly as promised in the title -  true gold. I don't think anyone could argue with the track choice here.  Maybe if they'd crammed in one or two more cuts, yet good as it is.  Even if you have all their original albums, getting so many goodies in a row should add something to both enjoyment and collection. Audio very clean and well separated, right up there with the originals I have on the UK Liberty LP:s. Even partly somewhat neater which could cause some minor dilemma for people with sensitive ears and minds used to get their Creedence a little dirtier, but no big deal I guess. Issued and reissued all over the world on vinyl and CD through the years, also reel, 8-track and cassette.  First UK on Fantasy (FT 501).  Earliest US came on differently designed brown labels. The label shown here was used by US Fantasy 1977-79, which gives an ok time frame for this copy. Still matrix no:s coincides with early pressings and it came in the original gimmick sleeve -  with four flaps on front, each having a member silhouette with pic inside (as shown below) - so to me in a way original just with a later label design.  (YZÄ*)  (CÖR*)
