Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2021 50th Anniversary Half-Speed Remaster From Craft Recordings. Housed In A Gatefold Jacket But No Hype Sticker. Remastering At Abbey Road Studios. “During 1969 And 1970, CCR Was Dismissed By Hipsters As A Bubblegum Pop Band And The Sniping Had Grown Intolerable, At Least To John Fogerty, Who Designed Pendulum As A Rebuke To Critics. He Spent Time Polishing The Production, Bringing In Keyboards, Horns, Even A Vocal Choir. His Songs Became Self-Consciously Serious And Tighter, Working With The Aesthetic Of The Rock Underground — Pendulum Was Constructed As A Proper Album, Contrasting Dramatically With CCR's Previous Records, All Throwbacks To Joyous Early Rock Records Where Covers Sat Nicely Next To Hits And Overlooked Gems Tucked Away At The End Of The Second Side. To Some Fans Of Classic CCR, This Approach May Feel A Little Odd Since Only "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" And Maybe Its B-Side "Hey Tonight" Sound Undeniably Like Prime Creedence. But, Given Time, The Album Is A Real Grower, Revealing Many Overlooked Fogerty Gems.” AMG - Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
