There's an air of defeat about Mardi Gras. Fogerty had decided to hit the self-destruct button and had found a way of pinning the blame on his bandmates. To make matters worse, Fogerty's minimal contributions to the songs he hadn't written are the work of a gifted man who is obviously putting no effort into what he was doing at the time. Compare his guitar work on the Cook or Clifford compositions to that on "Sweet Hitch Hiker" or "Someday Never Comes" and it's obvious that Fogerty was determined to make it obvious how little faith he had in his bandmates' material. As a result of this, despite Fogerty's contributions being great tunes and Clifford and Cook's efforts being creditable, listening to Mardi Gras always results in a bitter taste and leaves me with a sad and hollow feeling. If CCR had managed to communicate better as people, then their winning formula may never have been tampered with and who knows what they could have achieved throughout the next decade.

·                          CONDITION:

·                          RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)         WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)         Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·      COVER (this is the original “textured” cover)

COVER IS NEAR MINT,  STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-       Minor shelf wear noted on the opening side (nothing significant)

-       Cover has a minor 'bump' (dent) on the opening side (nothing significant) (VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE ONLY)

-       Cover has one corner slightly worn (nothing significant)

-       Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
