Creedence Clearwater Revival / seven LP vinyl box set coming
Universal Music will release a Creedence Clearwater Revival vinyl box set next month.
The Complete Studio Albums will be a seven-LP box set which will contain all of the American rock band’s studio albums, originally recorded between 1968 and 1972. These are as follows:
- • Creedence Clearwater Revival (1968)
- • Bayou Country (1969)
- • Green River (1969)
- • Willy and the Poor Boys (1969)
- • Cosmo’s Factory (1970)
- • Pendulum (1970)
- • Mardi Gras (1972)
Fans can expect the packaging to replicate the originals and 180g vinyl pressings. Universal are issuing a number of vinyl box sets this autumn from artists as diverse as Rod Stewart and Blondie. Further details on these other sets to follow soon.
Creedence Clearwater Revival: The Complete Studio Albums will be released on 27 October 2014.
Nice set, but the packaging does not “replicate the originals.”
Maybe its a “nit pick”, but none of the cool inserts etc is there, but the covers are good.
Great, but i wish to find a proper sounding cd set with “all” albums presented in a good sound quality.. most boxed cd releases are from poor masters … so my wish is release it on CD
Price seems a bit steep, given the Rod Stewart 5 album set looks set for under £70.
Has any group been more re-released than CCR?
Well, there are supposedly at least 95 Who anthologies spread out around the world, but it wouldn’t shock me if Creedence were a close second. Seems like every year Fantasy (or whoever owns the catalog at this point) puts the same tracks out in a new configuration.
I take it that CCR was like the Doors in that there was very little unused material. Given the amount of records they both put out in the 60s/early-70s, it’s not surprising that there were never a huge bunch of unheard songs from either group
