s/t (200g-edition) - Plak

ENGLISH

With the release of this extraordinary debut album in July 1968, Creedence Clearwater Revival was launched upon a career that little more than a year later would lead to enormous worldwide popularity. The four-man group from San Francisco's East Bay had worked ten years as a bar band and recorded several singles on the Scorpio label (under the forgettable name Golliwogs), but it was with this Fantasy release that CCR caught fire. Lead singer/ guitarist/ writer John Fogerty emerges as a fine lyric shouter with "Ninety-Nine and a Half", "I Put A Spell On You" and "Suzie Q", a brilliant extended rendition of the Dale Hawkins classic that quickly became a Top Ten Hit.
