The link goes to the Craft Recordings version. 1/2 speed mastered at Abbey Road from hi-res digital files, not the Hoffman version. The hype sticker on the shrink wrap will tell all. The Abbey Road version says mastered at Abbey Road on the hype sticker. The Hoffman version hype sticker says, "Includes the signature CCR hits Born on the Bayou & Proud Mary", "4 1/2 stars - All Music Guide".
If you enter the UPC to the Hoffman version this comes up. There is a separate page for the Half Speed.
I’m holding the Hoffman in my hand (not the 33 1/3 Analogue Productions pressing, it’s the reissue using the Hoffman stampers). UPC - 0 25218 83871 9 Good luck, I hope you get it.
Yes, when that is entered in amazon with no spaces, the item I linked comes up. Fingers crossed I do get it!
This is a confusing one. The Amazon link says Manufacturer and Label as Craft Recordings, which was released in 2019. But the Amazon link has a date first available as September 2013. And there are no versions of Bayou Country released in 2013, according to Discogs. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country I see what you mean about entering UPC 025218838719 in Amazon and the $17.99 version comes up. If you enter that same UPC in Discogs, 5 different versions show up plus 2 more in box sets. 025218838719 music | Discogs I'm dying to know what you end up getting after all this confusion!
I ordered this version in late October and it's the only CCR I ordered that didn't have the Craft sticker on it. I did a little digging on Discogs and it feels like the 150 gram SH version and has the same sticker as the clear version from a year later

I haven't opened it. I gave the known factors to eliminate the speculation. If that isn't enough information, I'm sorry.
Awww buddy, why'd you buy it? Open it and play it. Anyway, the repress using the Hoffman stampers has this hype sticker on the front. Hope you lucked out, it sounds great!
Mine has shipped. Hope yours has too! FWIW, the price only went up about $10, to $75 and change. It's still listed as backordered but available to order, if anyone missed out on the lower price.
So I intentionally didnt check this out before or after ordering, wanted to go in blind. LP arrived today. Holy cow, what a KILLER album. Absolutely loving it. And its pretty darn quiet for colored vinyl. Highly recommended for those that like a jazz/blues/rock mashup record. A steal at $10.
