UncleMeat 1,173 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Good for a greatest hits collection but unfortunately it does not sound as good as the original pressings. Originals have presence/stage; these re-mastered songs sound dull/flat by comparison. This is the original 1976 release of CCR Chronicle, not the recent re-press release. The new re-press has gotten bad reviews also I wonder if it's worse than this one or the same. The difference -might- be tube mastering equipment vs SS mastering. 2

Here she bests herself and defies expectation again, ditching her acoustic for an electric, lap steel, and perhaps the most unexpected instrument of all: her own voice; disarmingly winsome and sweet for a woman with so much attitude. The haunting melodies are sadder, the lush orchestrations are fuller, and the sharp edges can cut...And just as her fret work has been described as "singing," her fragile voice is but one ingredient in the mix, which includes bass, bells, and brushes." 5
