Creedence Clearwater Revival's self-titled debut album was gloriously out-of-step with the times, teeming with John Fogerty's Americana fascinations.
While 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 was still finding their way.
Still, the band's sound is vibrant, with gutsy arrangements that borrow equally from Sun, Stax, and the swamp.
Not for nothing were two of the three singles pulled from the album covers (Dale Hawkins' "Susie Q," Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You") as Fogerty wasn't an accomplished tunesmith yet.
Though "The Working Man" isn't bad, the true exception is that third single, "Porterville," an exceptional song with great hooks, an underlying sense of menace, and the first inkling of the working-class rage that fuelled such landmarks as "Fortunate Son." It's the song that points the way to the breakthrough of Bayou Country, but the rest of the album shouldn't be dismissed, because judged simply against the rock & roll of its time, it rises above its peers.

I Put A Spell On You (4:25)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Both labels are clean, bright and unmarked with light/moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but some wispy hairlines visible under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Superb sound quality - crystal clear, deep, rich and warm and my play-check at volume found nothing of note to fault.
No scratches, clicks, ticks or pops and beautifully clean throughout
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Great condition. The laminate has a deep glass-like gloss and the edges and spine are crisp and sharp.
There is a little feathering to the opening edge but nothing really and one central shop crease on the spine nothing else to fault
