Creedence Clearwater Revival, Willy and the Poor Boys, 1969 on Fantasy

This was the fourth LP from CCR, and the third released in 1969 (one in January, one in August, and this one in November) – talk about striking while the iron is hot / saturating the market. John Fogerty, older bother Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford are in fine form, including “Down On the Corner” and “Fortunate Son” as well as some longer album tracks like “Effigy” and “Feelin’ Blue.”

My copy is the 2024 Vinyl Me Please reissue in the Essentials track (E143), made by Craft Recordings, on “Washboard Marble” vinyl. Great pressing which replicates the Fantasy labels but with the Craft Recordings catalog number (CR00819).
