Pendulum

•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… Pendulum 7230881Creedence by this time was the top-selling rock band in the world, coming off seven consecutive Top 10 hits. The album contained the hits Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Hey Tonight and Molina. Bonus tracks include a live Hey Tonight plus 45 Revolutions Per Minute (Parts 1 & 2), the rarest of CCR collectibles, which was packaged in a plain white sleeve alluding to the Beatles’ White Album. Produced under the spell of the Fab Four’s Revolution No. 9, the tape montage tries to impart the elusive Creedence humour with the help of Bay Area DJ Tom Campbell.
