Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound
"...these are all truly classic Verve titles that you simply don't want to miss...most importantly, the sound of these reissues is nothing short of astounding. Particularly the early Billie and Ella mono records are incredible treasures of sonic beauty. I'd definitely ask Santa for the whole set, or, if you want to cherry pick, the most classic titles. Whatever you decide, you owe yourself at least a half dozen!" Winner of a 2012 Positive Feedback Online Writers' Choice Award - Danny Kaey, Positive Feedback Online, November/December 2011

Creedence Clearwater Revival – Cosmo’s Factory 180G Vinyl LP
Lean, Loud & Relentless — American Rock at Full Throttle
Cosmo's Factory finds Creedence Clearwater Revival operating at absolute peak efficiency. Tight rhythms, razor-sharp songwriting and swampy groove drive the album from start to finish. Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, this edition adds weight, punch and control to the band’s stripped-back sound. Guitars bite harder, basslines feel more grounded, and the groove never lets up. A definitive pressing of one of the greatest American rock albums ever recorded.
