Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Released a year after the summer of love, but still in the thick of the Age of Aquarius, Creedence Clearwater Revival's self-titled debut album was gloriously out-of-step with the times, teeming with John Fogerty's Americana fascinations. Many of Fogerty's obsessions and CCR's signatures are in place -- weird blues ("I Put a Spell on You"), Stax R&B (Wilson Pickett's "Ninety-Nine and a Half"), rockabilly ("Susie Q"), winding instrumental interplay, the swamp sound, and songs for "The Working Man". The band's sound is vibrant, with gutsy arrangements that borrow equally from Sun, Stax, and the swamp. Third single, "Porterville," is an exceptional song with great hooks, an underlying sense of menace -- it's the song that points the way to the breakthrough of Bayou Country. But judged simply against the rock & roll of its time, this debut album rises above its peers.
