Creedence Clearwater Revival – Pendulum (Limited Edition 2025 Remaster Opaque Brown Vinyl)

Pendulum stands as a turning point in Creedence Clearwater Revival’s storied discography—a record that sees the band pushing their swampy rock roots into new, more soulful and experimental terrain. Released in 1970, this sixth studio album is a showcase for John Fogerty’s maturing songwriting and the group’s willingness to embrace richer arrangements, evident in tracks like ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain?’ and ‘Hey Tonight.’ Unlike their earlier, more stripped-down records, Pendulum features layered organ and horns, lending a depth and warmth that makes it both a departure and an evolution. The 2025 remaster brings fresh clarity to these intricate textures, revealing nuances that might have slipped by on earlier pressings. Pressed on lush opaque brown vinyl, this limited edition is more than a collector’s item—it’s a tactile invitation to revisit a moment when CCR were both reflecting on their past and stretching toward new horizons. For those who appreciate albums that mark a band’s creative leap, Pendulum is essential listening—a testament to CCR’s enduring influence on American rock and a rewarding listen for seasoned fans and newcomers alike.
