* TheNotRemix: "Porterville" was originally released as a single a few months before they did the album, and was recorded in mono. To give the impression of being in stereo for here, they simply took the mono mix, added handclaps and maracas, and [[GratuitousPanning panned them over to the left channel]].

''Creedence Clearwater Revival'' is the debut album of [[Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival the rock band of the same name]], released on May 28, 1968 through Fantasy Records. After having played through the Sixties as as The Blue Velvets, then the Golliwogs, they were given a chance by Fantasy chair Saul Zaentz to record a full-length album on the condition that they change the band name, and thus Creedence Clearwater Revival was born. The band started recording on October 1967, releasing the "Porterville"/"Call It Pretending" single the following month before recording the rest of the album in early 1968. The resulting album sold well, but critics at the time didn't look fondly on it, albeit drastically improving over time. The band's breakthrough single, their cover of Dale Hawkins' "Suzie Q", had peaked at #11 in the Billboard charts, while their cover of Music/ScreaminJayHawkins' "I Put a Spell On You" charted at #58.

!!I don't mess around with tropes, child, what I got is mine:
* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: The original "Suzie Q" was a straightforward {{Rockabilly}} song, where the cover has a bluesier edge which takes this to {{Yandere}} territory.
