The enduring appeal of the legend that is Creedence Clearwater Revival is testament to the timeless and pan-generational output of such a classic band.
In the late 60’s and early 70’s Creedence Clearwater Revival were the biggest band in America. Their chooglin’, rootsy, swampy rock combined with the masterful song-crafting of John Fogerty has been the soundtrack to a cross-section of generations and one need only listen to the Kings Of Leon or The Black Keys to hear their influence in a contemporary context. This 40th Anniversary Edition Box Set celebrates this legacy and is released in a cap box (chocolate box type lift-lid) with seven titles included, each in the paper-sleeve format as exact replica copies of the original vinyl.
There will also be a 116(!) page booklet with additional photos and commentary. The seven albums will include the six re-mastered albums with bonus tracks. The seventh title is the previously unreleased re-master of the album Mardi Gras, which was kept out of last year’s reissues.
