Creedence Clearwater Revival included CCR's first smash hit, the Dale
Hawkins song “Suzie Q,” plus
the classic cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins' “I Put a Spell on You.” The
reissue contains four bonus
tracks: “Call it Pretending” (the B-side of the band's first single), the
band's first recording of a cover of Bo Diddley's “Before You Accuse Me”
(later re-recorded for Cosmo's Factory), a live version of
“Ninety-Nine and a Half” recorded at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1969, and a
full-length live version of
“Suzie Q.” Almost famous former Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres wrote
the notes.
