Story & Background
This eponymous debut by Creedence Clearwater Revival, even in this first Liberty pressing from 1969, encapsulates the essence of their lightning-fast revival. For years, the band had performed as The Golliwogs, an identity that had never allowed them to take flight. The need for a more impactful name, suggested by their label Fantasy Records, led to the choice of "Creedence Clearwater Revival". The name stemmed from three sources: Credence Newball (a friend of Tom Fogerty), "Clearwater" (from an Olympia beer advertisement), and "Revival" (a symbol of their desire to revitalise rock 'n' roll). This transformation was not merely nominal, but marked the birth of their distinctive "swamp rock" and a dazzling success, catapulting them into the rock pantheon and defining a musical era.
