Creedence Clearwater Revival (album)

Creedence Clearwater Revival is the debut album by Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in 1968.
The reissue liner notes state that while "Susie Q" proved to be a hit, the band had played for years as the Golliwogs in the early 1960s, releasing numerous singles before achieving success in the pop world. While the band did gain success with their chart debut, critics initially denied the band respect. The album was remastered and reissued on 180 Gram Vinyl by Analogue Productions in 2006.
