Customer Reviews

Great music but the two "Chronicles" CDs would be a better choice
5 star music...3 star collection (because it's missing so much great stuff)for an average of 4. Let me explain why I'm giving thisonly 4 stars...While this is a great collection of CCR songs the two "Chronicles" CDs cover the band's style and best music better than this two CD set. Additionally, you'll get more music there and the artwork is quite a bit better with notes discussing CCR's career. Although the sound quality on the "Chronicles" sets aren't the best (the only place to get the best sounding CCR remasters are to buy either the individually remastered sets, boxed set and/or Steve Hoffmann's terrific remasters of the CCR albums "Born on the Bayou", "Green River", "Willie and the Poor Boys" and "Cosmos' Factory".

With the boxed set (if you decide to invest that much)you get every track the band recorded and that was released including a 25 track disc that the band recorded when they were known as Tommy & The Blue Velvets and The Golliwogs. While the former tracks are decent some of The Golliwogs tracks such as "Fight Fire" could hold their own with the best swamp music John wrote.

It's your choice but I would suggest going for the "Chronicles" set or one of the others I mentioned as the music sounds so much better. One other option is the CCR/John Fogerty single disc set which also sounds great AND includes some new live tracks as well.

Mediocre collection
This is an odd, somewhat skimpy collection which omits some of Creedence's best songs, and includes several lesser ones instead. At this price it definitely can't be recommended...the two "Chronicle" CDs are a much better purchase.

Finally, a 2-disc set
Taking the majority of CCR: Chronicle Vols. 1 and 2, this release is a real deal. Get this instead of the others. All the major hits are here, one good song after another. Funny though - for a two disc set, you'd think there would be some information on the band in the booklet, but no: just a folded one-sheet listing the tracks. Surely these guys deserve a little better than that?
