Story & Background
"Pendulum", released in 1970, represents a crucial and, in retrospect, tragic chapter in the history of Creedence Clearwater Revival, serving as a true watershed for the internal dynamics of the group. For the first and only time on a CCR album, John Fogerty, the principal composer and creative mind, granted writing credits to Stu Cook ("Molina") and Doug Clifford ("Rude Awakening #2"), as well as to Tom Fogerty ("Sail Away"). This move, although seemingly democratic, was in reality the most evident symptom of the growing tensions between Fogerty and the rest of the band, who were demanding more creative space and a fairer distribution of contributions. The recording sessions were notoriously tense, with John feeling under pressure and believing that the others' contributions were not up to CCR's calibre. This forced openness, far from resolving the conflicts, exacerbated them, leading a few months later to Tom Fogerty's departure and the beginning of the inexorable decline, making this first pressing from 1970 a sonic document of a band at its peak but already on the brink.
