Creedence Clearwater Revival (The Golliwogs) - The Golliwogs (1965)

 So what I've done in terms of rounding up the pre-Creedence tracks by CCR is take all the tunes recorded and released for the years of 1964 and 1965 and put them together in an album. Though, excluding the '62 songs, which I've put on their own ep due to their stylistic difference to their later stuff, the album only comes out to ten tracks, which is reasonable enough, but only 22 minutes or so, which might seem like a stretch, but keep in mind that the US Kinks album 'Kinks-Size' has the same specifications, being about 22 minutes long and 10 tracks long, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that a record label would put out a short album like this, especially if the band hasn't had any success.

The photo I've used for the cover is taken from the band's Complete Recordings archive release.
