The Most Complete List of C C R and John Fogerty Unofficial Releases

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
JOHN FOGERTY
FOREWORD/DISCLAIMER!
Unofficial recordings [aka Bootlegs] are recordings of artists' public performances made by private persons on their own initiative, transferred later to a CD or LP and distributed or sold privately and independently from the artists' recording labels. General opinion states that those recordings are in violation of international copyright regulations. However, in some countries a public performance belongs to the public domain, therefore privately publishing and selling the records is regarded as a legal operation. The rule is for artists not allow these practices since the artists that wrote and performed the songs don't get money for it.
There are good quality and bad quality recordings, depending on the source. Sometimes however these recordings are a nice -and many would say, a necessary - addition to the artists legal recordings since concerts and shows are seldom published by the official labels. I'm happy I'm not a Beatles or Stones collector because then I would have had not enough money to buy them because of their number. In the case of CCR/Fogerty there's not so much Official material available at the moment, so I guess some of these recordings - if after due consideration of the issue you decide to buy them - can add something extra to your collection.
The LPs and CDs below are not listed here for sale nor to encourage sales. I only list them to let you know what's available or what was available. If you see other than those listed here please contact me. All efforts have gone into making this as complete as possible. Also if you have any question on official singles, LP's or CDs concerning Creedence Clearwater Revival and related acts, contact me, I'll try to help you whenever I can.
