"...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!"

"Ease your stylus into any groove of Acoustic Sounds' five LP Creedence Clearwater Revival series, and you'll know ­ instantly ­ that every over-the-top rave you've read about these records is true."

"Remastered from the original tapes by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at the built-from-scratch AcousTech mastering facility, the result of their efforts is mind-blowing, akin to hearing each one of these five Creedence albums ­ Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bayou Country, Green River, Willy and the Poorboys and Cosmo's Factory ­ as if for the first time. That last line may read like a tired cliché but believe me, it's true. By comparison, the original LPs sound thin, edgy, gritty and wildly imbalanced, like an old AM car radio with a blown speaker. 'Down on the Corner,' from Willy and the Poorboys, opens with taps on a muted high-hat, then a cowbell, before the electric bass announces the song's melody. The cymbal and cowbell are just there, the bass is solid and meaty, and the guitars sound like live electric guitars. By the time the vocals join in you'll feel transported back to late 1969 ­ even if you weren't born yet. Although the quality of the original pressings varies, the improvements wrought by Gray and Hoffman are exceptionally consistent. 'Born on the Bayou' is thick, rich and full, with presence and dynamics I wouldn't have thought possible. And where the original LP is like a bunched together mish-mash of different sounds, Acoustic Sounds' vinyl is immediate and coherent, with space between the instruments. Without having heard the masters, it seems that somehow these guys were able to make a significant leap across the void that usually separates the sound of a master tape from the finished product. A stunning achievement!"

"Within seconds of the first strains of "Down on the Corner" from Willie and the Poorboys, I knew that Chad, Steve, Kevin and company had done the real thing! The SACD had the feel of a master tape written all over it. The ease! The classic feel of tubes and tapes! Analog galore!...I went from cut to cut in a kind of excited daze. I had grown up with this music from about 1969 and knew it inside and out. And yet, despite owning two different CD issues...I felt that I was really hearing the music for the first time!...We've ordered the entire Analogue Productions SACD reissue series...all twelve titles! If you're smart, you'll do the same. You can thank me for the recommendation later!"

Thank you sincerely for sharing this with me."

This is a Rock and Roll album. And a good one too! Not some 'audiophile' recording of an unknown ne'er-do-well performing a 'nose-flute recital' (borrowed slam) in a drafty VFW Hall. This is actual music. Ya know...popular music. And it sounds great!"
