The great thing is that John Fogerty finally got over the Fantasy Records thing.
I had seen him on the tour which turned out to be promoting Eye of the Zombie. It was not a pleasant experience and the album is such abysmal self indulgence that it is nearly unlistenable.
Well, forward to 1998 and releasing Blue Moon Swamp. Word had gotten around that he had overcome the anger and was doing Credence music again. I almost had to drag my wife there but ogh was it worth it! He's been fabulous again ever since. Anything you see of his is wrth a spin with that one exception.
As a nice tie it together Saul Zantz no longer owns Fantasy records and it was bought by a Fogertey fan. He's back on his original lable and living a happy life.
