    Hi!
    Thanks for sharing, really interesting!
    New to the vinyl game I wonder if and were these pressings can be purchased in the EU?

    "Have You Ever Seen My Drain" was A4KM-7500 (F-2846A).

    Steve, perhaps you can't say, but does Kevin use a similar process now when doing the many remasters he's involved with?

    I was diving back into vinyl and newly immersed in SACD when these came out, and split the difference by grabbing the debut, Bayou Country, and Green River on LP, plus Willy and Cosmo’s on SACD. Pure bliss.

    This thread has me extra jazzed for the John Lingan CCR bio coming out next month.

    Steve, do you have a favorite among these albums in terms of the recording/sound quality? (My guess would be Cosmo’s Factory…)

    Did working with the masters change any opinions for you about the music?

    I have one of the 45rpm EPs which sounds great. Are these separate remasters from the 33? Cut separate I assume?

    Favorite? Well, any album engineered by Russ Gary is going to sound good. I've enjoyed CCR since back in the day. They all sound good so it's just the music. I like Willie/Cosmo/Green/Bayou/Self/Pend/Mardi in that order..

    EP's cut separate, of course. Same mastering moves but 2 1/2 db hotter.

    Can you remind me of the tracks on those? Been a while. Is that the true stereo remix stuff or was that a different cutting?

    The one I have is Bayou Country:

    Side 1: Born on the Bayou, Bootleg
    Side 2: Good Golly Miss Molly, Penthouse Pauper, Proud Mary

    It is stereo. Not sure if its a remix or a different cutting.

    Original mixes. Notice how the track listing follows the album order. Otherwise we would have needed to splice the songs in a different order.

    The "bonus disk" in the box set had some stereo remixes I did from the quad era..

    It made me appreciate "GREEN RIVER" more, that's for sure. Could be their most heartfelt album..

    Ah, thank you. So "Hey Tonight" was A4KM-7501. The very first RCA Custom matrix numbers assigned out of Hollywood in the calendar year 1971.

    This single appears to be the very first of CCR's that RCA Hollywood cut on a Neumann lathe. All up to "Lookin' Up My Back Door" / "Long As I Can See The Light" were cut on a Scully.

    Willie and Cosmo’s are my favorite CCR albums. Those are the two I own cut by you and Kevin. Thanks again! Think the others will ever get repressed?

    Repressed? Well, never say never but I doubt it.

    In that configuration. Minus Tom, they hit the Top 10 one last time with what John enunciated as "Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker."

    That came after "Hey, Tonight"? My memory of it is vague but I guess you're right.

    Yeah, I knew that, but in my mind I remembered "Hey, Tonight" as later. Might be because a friend had the 45.. Oh well..

    …and one last breath in the top forty with Someday Never Comes…I think it almost made top twenty, but not quite.

    I have three of these pressings among other multiple copies of each. These are by far the best, most well rounded sounding.
