Hello, I am a collector who has been acquiring records and CDs for many years. I have decided to sell some of my collection. I purchased all of my items right when they were released. I am the only owner and I assure you everything is in excellent condition.  Please see my great feedback for a list of happy buyers.

Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival

Title: Absolute Originals (UNPLAYED Audiophile LP set mastered by the great Steve Hoffman)

Format: 8 LP Boxed Set (seven LPs and one 12" single)

Limited Edition number 0301 of 2500

Country: USA

Label and Number: Analogue Productions APP CCR7

I bought this set directly from Acoustic Sounds and it will be shipped to you using the same double boxes they used when they shipped the set to me.

The set has been opened but all of the LPs are all unplayed. I have only played the bonus 12" single one time.

Full-size book included.

Excellent reproductions of the original LP covers and blue Fantasy record labels.

Everything is in beautiful near mint condition.

The picture is of the actual set I am selling, I do not use stock photos.

Includes all seven CCR studio albums. These comprise the first seven LPs in the set. The 8th disc is 12" vinyl cut at 45 RPM for maximum sound quality. The tracks on this disc are: Bad Moon Rising (wide stereo mix), Lodi, Good Golly Miss Molly, Penthouse Pauper and Proud Mary (wide stereo mix).

This vinyl boxed set is the only place you can get the wide stereo mixes of Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising!

Each LP comes in a protective sleeve and the records have not ever been placed in their jackets.

Shipping is by Priority Mail at actual cost, I do not add handling charges. I highly recommend the optional insurance.

From the web:

For those of you that have followed Analogue Productions for a few years, you might remember our Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk LP box sets. If you own a copy, you know how deluxe these sets are, from the detailed liner notes to the rarest photographs. And that's not even addressing the most important part, the music and sound. Both of those sets are now collector's items, with the Miles Davis long sold out and going for well over the original retail price, and only a few remaining copies of the Monk.

You can expect the same from our newest project, The Creedence Clearwater Revival Box Set, titled Absolute Originals. We've assembled CCR's seven studio albums along with indepth liners by rock critic extraordinare Ben Fong-Torres of Rolling Stone fame, and photos by Baron Wolman and Didi Zill, both of whom were there to document CCR "back in the day." There is also an essay by Steve Hoffman, who along with Kevin Gray, remastered these gems at AcousTech Mastering.

Additionally, the LP box set will include an eighth record of choice songs cut at 45 RPM. Included will be rare mixes of "Bad Moon Rising" and "Proud Mary." When these songs first came out, John Fogerty mixed them in very narrow stereo so that they'd be compatible with mono sound, which was just starting to be phased out. In 1975, they were remixed in wide stereo. Those are the mixes included on this bonus disc, and at 45 RPM, the sound is incredible.

Each box set will be numbered.

"Chad Kassem showed me the finished version of his remarkable Creedence Clearwater Revival boxed set. Absolute Originals contains vinyl remasterings of all seven Creedence albums, plus an eighth disc, cut at 45rpm, featuring five of the group's singles remixed in wide stereo. (Is that like loud TV?) I own a few test pressings from Chad's original run of individual LP reissues, and I can vouch for their superb sound and clean surfaces - but what impressed me most was the high quality of the booklet that comes with the boxed version. Whoever was the art director of that project deserves a raise, and Chad deserves thanks for creating a package that exceeds our expectations rather than just tossing off some junky scan." - Art Dudley, Stereophile, August 2004

"...The box isn't cheap, but it is a collection of classic albums - there's really not a dud in the bunch - and they have never sounded better...Finally, there's the presentation, which is first class. The full sized, full color booklet includes veteran rock writer Ben Fong-Torres's lucid liner notes, and a collection of fabulous publicity shots sumptuously presented. The last page includes Steve Hoffman's notes about the reissue production and information on the original recordings and mixes, along with tape box photos...CCR fans rejoice!" Music = 10/11 Sound = 9/11 - Michael Fremer, Musicangle.com. Read the full review.
