AlexH. Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This is easily the most egregious Newbury release thus far. This is in the used bin of every single record store in the country for 8 bucks or less, and you should really be buying the full albums anyway. Cosmo's Factory at least. At least.

apirk Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 CCR is very widely considered a Southern Rock band. This argument is pointless. Never really heard anyone call them a southern rock band lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Definitely would never put them in the southern rock category. Anyway, I'm tempted to buy this ridiculous waste of my money, considering I have pretty much all of their albums. CCR is just that fucking great.

sacredheart Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm referring to the price after shipping. Unless there's a way to get free shipping... Yeah, its called going into one of their many stores and picking it up there. Shipping is not their fault, its a 25 dollar release, not a 32 dollar release.

Subwire Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I have a friend who can't listen to ccr anymore because I told him they where from Los Angeles. albert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan4ever80 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yeah, its called going into one of their many stores and picking it up there. Shipping is not their fault, its a 25 dollar release, not a 32 dollar release. When I asked about free shipping I was being genuine, not saying it facetiously. It just so happens I don't live near any of "their many stores". I never claimed it was a $32 release. I said I was in until I saw the price of shipping and spending $32 on a record is too much for me. If you really want to defend them, I would say $7 to ship a single record is a bit excessive. Sending media mail across the country doesn't cost more than $3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man... Yes. I dont see the point in a greatest hits album. ALL of their records during that period were excellent. Why would you want to leave songs out? Just listen to the LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseypride Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Bought a black copy last year at Urban Outfitters for $15. They still have tons of copies at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan4ever80 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What postal service are you using that makes shipping that cheap? USPS Media Mail. From what I remember, it only cost me around $3 to ship a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangsAnalSatan Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 ITT: People complaining about having to pay $6 instead of $3. Try living in Canada, shipping is $12 minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckeroo2 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just to reiterate what a few others have said, while this is a good "hits" record: 1: You can buy really nice copies of it EVERYWHERE for less than $5 used 2: The original albums are so good, don't let a greatest hits album stop you from some great tunes, especially when they're so inexpensive. You can buy beautiful copies of ALL of them for the cost of this 2xLP 3: The early Fantasy pressings are some of the best sounding records I have ever heard (and I'm pretty old). Go through a used CCR section, and feel the vinyl. Some will be extremely thin and wobbly, these are mostly late 70s and 80s represses, don't buy these. If you pull it out and it feels almost like a 78 feels (rigid, heavy) and it is in good condition, buy it. The guitar tones, bass, and vocal recordings are unbelievable. These are some of the ones I pull out whenever the age old vinyl vs digital argument pops up, and people say "oh, I see now". As has been mentioned, Cosmo's Factory and Willy and the Poor Boys are good starts, but they are all awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yes. I dont see the point in a greatest hits album. ALL of their records during that period were excellent. Why would you want to leave songs out? Just listen to the LPs. I agree, and also agree with the statements made about the 1st pressings - they sound INCREDIBLE. And the 45 rpm reissues sound even better of course. You could do much better for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky11 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just received mine in the mail today. Looks and sounds awesome. No regrets. bungie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. sincere Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Too bad this record has none of their covers. They're some of their best material. What? This has a bunch of covers. And just to pile on what everyone else said, there is no reason to spend so much money on this, regardless of it being pressed on a totally unnecessary vinyl color.

I'll give you a reason, I had the money to spend and I wanted it in my collection. It may not be worth it to some people, but it is to others. bungie and chilltown38 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
