Popular but not hip, basic but not shallow, rooted but not retro, Creedence Clearwater Revival distinguished themselves in the late 1960s and early 1970s through these contradictions. This six-disc set is the definitive Creedence collection, offering superbly remastered versions of all of their studio and live albums and adding a disc's worth of pre-Creedence material. The ultimate blue-collar rock band, John Fogerty and CCR found success by wholly giving in to their fascination with the American South (despite hailing from Northern California) and exploring the turf that connected R&B and country--the same turf that their heroes at Sun studios tilled at rock's birth. As the songs on the first disc prove, they hadn't always taken this approach though perhaps they should have: The first four songs from 1961 (by Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets), original compositions in the classic '50s rock & roll style they loved, hold up better than subsequent Golliwogs tracks that attempt to replicate the British Invasion sound in vogue at the time. Still, the Golliwogs tracks offer hints of John Fogerty's menacing growl and biting guitar that would fully blossom later on. When diving into CCR's entire body of work, many myths dissipate and a more well-rounded view comes into focus: the quintessential singles band that dominated AM radio was also quite an album band, releasing solid records from top to bottom even though half of the songs were saturating radio long before the LP would hit. Also, they weren't quite as far removed from their Bay Area brethren (who were reared on the same roots music) as is often stated, offering a number of long and loose jams that, while not overtly psychedelic, gave them and their fans a chance to stretch out. Without question, though, CCR were the kings of the three-minute rock single, and it's these now-ubiquitous gems--the consummate AM band now dominates FM radio--that will always define them. --Marc Greilsamer

Geat Music if you are a CCR Fan and if you aren't, You will be by the time you finish listening. CCR had a Very distint sound and some great music came out of that sound.
Other reviewers have done a much better job of reviewing this CD set, So there's no need to repeat what's already been said. It's a Great collection that can't be beat.

Having All Their Studio Albums Some Remastered And Some Not I Bought This Box Set Anyway ! The Remastered Sound Is Great. Some Reviews Gave Complaints About This, But They Sound Great On A Worthy Stereo!

The Live Version Of Keep On Chooglin Totally Rocks !!! After You Buy This To Start, Then Go Order All The John Fogerty Solo CD's (7) In All, And His Brothers CD The Best Of Tom Fogerty ! This Will Finish Up This Bands Talent !
 CCR all in one place! September 3, 2008
S. Davis (Atlanta, GA. USA)
If you like Creedence Clearwater Revival music and don't have any (or very much) in your collection, then this is the set that has it all. Some of the early stuff before they were Creedence isn't all that good (mostly because it doesn't sound like them) but everything else they did is in this box set including live versions. Better than a greatest hits!

You get one CD of Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets, one CD of the Golliwogs, all the CCR studio ablums (ablums?) and two live concerts. One concert is the four piece and the other concert is the three piece. All remastered.
Now, you have to buy the boxed set to get the remastered, original track listing of the three piece concert. Otherwise, you end up purchasing a CD with a few tracks missing. Bugger that. Especially when its Sweet Hitchhiker that was one of the tracks cut.
Well worth the money.

This box set gives you all studio and live albums in one, compact and uniform looking box set. CCR has many good songs, all of their popular ones are very good, but there are lots of other good ones that are not so popular. It comes with 6 discs. One disc is pre-creedence material that is actually very worthwhile. Two of the discs are kind of a live version of songs. The set also comes with a 20-30 page booklet with all kinds of commentary on what CCR was and how they came to be.
To me, discovering CCR was like finding something new and fresh when looking back in time. They are a definitive band of the 60s and 70s and I really can't understand why the radio stations I hear don't play more of them...
