•Concord / Fantasy will reissue the classic Creedence Clearwater Revival catalogue expanded with rare bonus tracks on each disc, celebrating their 40th anniversary.•All albums Digitally-remastered in ‘super-jewel’ cases.•These classic albums feature the original band from El Cerrito, California: John Fogerty (chief songwriter, vocalist and guitarist), Tom Fogerty (guitar), Stu Cook (bass) and Doug Clifford (drums). •Although they sounded like no other band, they redefined rock and roll. They showed, in the most entertaining way possible, how the music could embrace — and was, in fact, founded on — elements of R&B and the blues, country, folk, and jazz, as well as a world of other musical forms. Creedence were pioneers in the fusion of rock and country. They were ‘roots’ before roots took hold as a music genre… Creedence Clearwater Revival 7230876The debut album, from 1968, included CCR’s first smash hit, the Dale Hawkins song Suzie Q, plus the classic cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins’ I Put a Spell on You.
