STILL FACTORY SEALED 1970 ORIGINAL first pressing...a perfect copy from 40 years ago with 4 sharp corners, no bends, no split seams and has NEVER been opened ..100% guaranteed original.... 

This is just one of those albums where just about every song could have been a worldwide hit (and it was, really...). With swamp rock classics like "Travelin' Band," "Before You Accuse Me" and "Lookin' Out My Back Door" in the list, mixed with the folk influenced and wonderful "Who'll Stop the Rain," the gritty and very atmospheric "Run Through the Jungle" (so cinematic, you can picture a whole movie in your head, beginning middle and end, with credits rolling by the time it ends) and the slow and nostalgically touching "Long As I Can Aee the Light," this is the kind of music that would never in a million years have required technical embellishment in recording studios, or overdubbing, or whatever other gimmick could have been used to have made these songs more appealing. The fact that this album became so popular and it still remains an all time favourite, makes one think that the seventies, as the sixties, were really a special time musically speaking. When it came to playing growling swamp rock, these guys were number one, and still are, because they played it so well and in such a timelessly cool way, with solid drumming, exemplary guitar work, not to forget John Fogerty's gritty voice, which wasn't only gritty, but a genuine ability to interpret just about any song, from the nostalgin "Who'll Stop the Rain," to the accusatory "Before You Accuse Me," almost violently fierce in "Run Through the Jungle" and mellow in "Long As I Can See the Light" ... "Heard it Through the Grape Vine," is turned it into an epic eleven minute jam with great guitar work and solid bassline, and where Johnn Fogerty voice matches the great black artists that had interpreted the song before him with his own originality).

The ultimate C.C.R. swamp rocker, possibly their best ever.
