Classic CCR Box Set Choogles Back Into Print

A box set of Creedence Clearwater Revival's official studio and live discography, first released in 2001, is getting reissued again for the holiday box set season.

Creedence Clearwater Revival was a six-disc set collecting all of the Southern (by way of California) rock band's studio albums - Creedence Clearwater Revival (1968), Bayou Country, Green River, Willy and the Poor Boys (all 1969), Cosmo's Factory, Pendulum (both 1970) and Mardi Gras (1972) - along with both of their posthumous live albums, Live in Europe (1973) and The Concert (1980).

The group (lead singer/guitarist John Fogerty; his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom; bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford), of course, had their share of massive hits, including Top 5 singles "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" and others. But the box didn't stop there, adding a disc of rare and unreleased pre-CCR compositions by the quartet under the names Tommy Fogerty & The Blue Velvets and The Golliwogs. While additional archival material was loosed on a series of 40th anniversary remasters by the group's original label, Fantasy Records, in 2008, this box offers the complete essentials in one package.

The original package featured copious photos and notes from the likes of Ben Fong-Torres, Robert Christgau, Dave Marsh, Joel Selvin and others, as well as a wooden box packaging. While this iteration of the box looks a little simpler, it's a safe bet all the extra information in the packaging would be included once more. This pressing of the box is available November 12 and can be pre-ordered after the jump, which is, as always, where you'll find the complete track rundown.
