Overview

The album is notable because it documents the band performing as a trio, following Tom Fogerty's departure. It was released, despite John Fogerty's strong objections,[1][3][4][5][6] after his final struggles with Fantasy Records over his songwriting. In 1973, Fogerty said he would never play a Creedence song again, as it would only benefit Fantasy Records—a promise he kept for some 20 years.[7]

A budget-priced 1987 reissue of the album omitted "Door to Door" and "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" (the studio versions of which were both originally recorded by the band as a trio) to fit the album on a single LP. When the album was remastered and issued on CD by Fantasy Records in 1999, the two missing songs were restored.
