Creedence Clearwater Revival "Absolute Originals"

About Creedence Clearwater Revival "Absolute Originals" Analogue Productions vinylbox.
In the set there you can find also a bonus 45.
Is there a change there will be a digital version in the future?
Or better, is it allready available?

 

Also known as: The CCR Box Set "Absolute Originals".

 

BUMP

 

There is a digital version of the box (SACD) still available at retail, I believe. However, as I recall, it does not have a copy of the extra disk with the wide stereo mixes. That is only available with the vinyl sets (both the 33-1/3 and the 45 rpm sets).

If you want the SACD's, then I recall that it's cheaper to just buy them individually.

 

What exactly were the extra wide stereo tracks?

Get the DCC cds. That's all you'll need.

 

TRUE! Though the S?T debut & Mardi Gras weren't part of that. But the AP SACD's of all 7 studio albums are worth having too. Too bad Steve didn't master "The Concert".

 

The tracks were "Proud Mary" and "Bad Moon Rising".

They can also be found on some vinyl pressings of the "Creedence Gold" comp. My 80's (blue label) US pressing has them.



The wide stereo "Bad Moon Rising" can also be found on a Fantasy "lightning label" reissue single (w/Lodi as the A side). The mix on the 45 is a bit "hotter" than the Creedence Gold LP.

Ok, Sure I have all those and they are pretty weird mixes...I'll stick with my AF SACD's...

Thanks for all the quick responses...

Oh yeah,No knock on the DCC versions...I wish the whole catalog could have been done on DCC like they did with the AF SACD's....

I'm sure we could start a whole new thread on the differences between the sound of the DCC's vs. the AF SACD's...

Hi Steve,

I recall our discussion about the CCR quad mixes not being so great. And, I've never realized that wide stereo mixes were made. It amazes me that some folks (probably corporate types) will delve into the original multitrack tapes without all of the original elements in place and expect the results to be as good as the original mixes.

I like them for what they are...of course not to replace the originals...just a different flavor.
not as much as the Gary Lewis and the Playboys wide stereo that someday I'm hoping you will remaster! Oh boy! would that be it for me...

 

yes, you are correct about CCR... I agree...

OK, now when are we going to get a 2 CD set of STEREO Gary?

 

There is a wide stereo mixes on SACD for the boxset?

 

I have the SACD boxset, there is no wide stereo mixes included.

 

Only the vinyl set has the wide version.
But is there a change it will be on SACD?

 

nearly 6 years later and I'm still hoping to see a Gary Lewis & the Playboys with the original stereo mixes on CD remastered by Steve Hoffman! love the mono CD that you did, but it's stereo for me with Gary!

 

looks that way...too bad for us. : ( as they years go by that chances dwindle...

 

And now I've pulled out the Gary Lewis comp., and see all kinds of missing details on the Discogs page, which I will now correct.

Hard to keep up around here sometimes, luckily it'll get quiet in about 30 minutes, always does.
