(all the modern CDs/lps are mixed by outside parties). Each time Fantasy re-releases the CD's, the re-re-remaster it again, it gets farther and farther away from what it sounded like in 1969/1972. Remastering used to only be used when the item in question was on poor grade tape and needed a remix, nowadays they do it just as a marketing term, and the sound quality becomes over-processed. I love my LP's for $25.00 I got all of the CCR LP's (including albert hall concert)

But I do have to say something, the 6 cd boxset is GOOD, the set of 40th annis not so much, the 6 cd set has mastertapes written all over it. I cant wait to pit the vinyls against them....muahahah battle of the fogertys! hehe
