Creedence Clearwater Revival 1st Press OZ LP Willy & the Poor boys VG+ ‘69
Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1969 on Liberty Records. Cat: SLYL-933658.
This record  came from a collection in absolutely stunning condition, many not played at all and most only played a few times at best.    
Make no mistake, Willy & the Poor Boys is a fun record, perhaps the breeziest album CCR ever made. Apart from the eerie minor-key closer "Effigy" (one of John Fogerty's most haunting numbers), there is little of the doom that colored Green River. Fogerty's rage remains, blazing to the forefront on "Fortunate Son," a working-class protest song that cuts harder than any of the explicit Vietnam protest songs of the era, which is one of the reasons that it hasn't aged where its peers have. Also, there's that unbridled vocal from Fogerty and the ferocious playing on CCR, which both sound fresh as they did upon release.

Tracks : Down on the corner/ It came out of the sky/ Cotton fields/ Poorboy shuffle/ Feelin’ blue/ Fortunate son/ Don’t look now (it ain’t you or me)/ The midnight special/ Side O’ the road/ Effigy.

  There are some light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks and very light scratches that cause some crackles in parts and is in VG+ condition. Full gloss cover has a few tiny marks and is in Excellent condition.
