Gotta Start Somewhere...

In the early 60s the four guys who we loved as Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded under a couple of different group names. First was Tommy Fogerty & The Blue Velvets, then as The Golliwogs. Use the 45cat link at the bottom to see these early 45s.

We'll begin with the last two Golliwogs' singles as they directly related to CCR.


The Golliwogs
Walking On The Water / You Better Get It Before It Gets You
Green-Wild (2:14) / Green-Wild (2:45)

CCR would revise the A-side for their first album

The Golliwogs
Porterville / Call It Pretending
Swallowtail (2:13) / Swallowtail (2:10)
