Are there any true stereo recordings of the following Creedence songs: Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Proud Mary, Penthouse Pauper, and The Working Man?
Please respond and thank you.

no

I dont think there is one either. I hope you have a nice day and ROCK ON!!!

I think BMR is in stereo on the Creedence Gold album, at least on the Quad LP version. look for it on john's message board.

There are stereo recording od Bad Moon, Lodi, and Proud Mary.

YES! I have some of them!

I have the stereo versions of "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Lodi", and "Sweet Hitch-Hiker". I managed to find them on Napster many years ago. I still have not been able to find stereo versions of "The Working Man", or "Penthouse Pauper".

Proud Mary True stereo 2011

Hello and welcome to the forums.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proud Mary always was in stereo, just narrow stereo, what I just heard in that video is a matrixed version of proud mary, someone just expanded the stereo field to the extreme left and right (which is why the drums sound piffy and weak now since it takes away from the center channel, IE spreading the sound thin)

I had the real deal a while back, I made it as part of a demo recording. But I destroyed it and all my other materials earlier in the year. Maybe I need to redo some of this stuff and post a vid or two...

Only one studio-issued "wide" stereo version existed and that was after CCR's demise, Creedence Gold on vinyl, and it goes for sky high prices.

Which pressing is that?

Could you clarify that?

Creedence-Gold on Vinyl is the one that has "wide" stereo versions of BMR and Proud Mary, its one of those quad records that has 4 channels, thats why its in stereo. Its also very expensive if you find it.

As for the ones I engineered, as said I destroyed all of my CCR stuff last year.

I know about the Quad Creedence Gold LP. I have a copy of that.

From what I've heard, Russ Gary apparently remixed Proud Mary and Bad Moon into stereo for a non-quad LP pressing of Creedence Gold. It happened either in the late 70's or early 80's. If it truly exists it must be rare.

I though you had a copy and I wanted to know the details of the LP for identifying it.

This thread got me interested again in those elusive stereo recordings. I did some checking on other forums and got some leads. Apparently the Creedence Gold album that is NOT quad but has stereo recordings of Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising does exist. I was able to locate one and just played it and sure enough - stereo Proud Mary and stereo Bad Moon Rising.

If you want to find this version of Creedence Gold with the wider stereo mixes look for Creedence Gold, BLUE or Teal label, pressing "(b-t) F-9418 A-G/A". This can be found on the dead wax on side A. The album does NOT have the foldouts on the album cover.

The real nice thing about this is you usually find this album for very little money.

There you go. You don't need the Quad album to hear the stereo versions of Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising.

I already have proud mary and bad moon rising in stereo (had the means to do my own mixes of both). But if someone is into collecting vinyl then having the CCR Gold lp would be cool. (I Stopped collecting vinyl last year)

Edit: For the record the highest fidelity version of any of the CCR albums you can get would be the very expensive reel to reel versions that were put out (No im collecting those either, went 100% digital for everything)

I beg to differ. "Working Man", and "Penthouse Pauper" may be narrow stereo, but PM, BMR, Lodi, and SHH are in real, true stereo. Extreme difference in L and R channels.

jz, theres no difference between narrow stereo and true stereo (true stereo is not even a term, and narrow is a description of how close to center the L/R channels are), Proud Mary and bad moon rising are stereo but they are not taking advantage of the stereo field as they were narrowed for compatibility with mono turntables when they were made, you seem to be confused. Regardless the CCR gold LP also includes a new stereo mix thats wider than the original.

Russ Gary has said he was NOT the one remixing Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising for the wide Stereo Creedence Gold LP.
