Reviews :

"...Now comes Absolute Originals...the sonic results are so damn wonderful...everything is that much more immediate: dynamics are more explosive, textures more complex, there's tons of energy but everything is warm and sassy, and Fogerty's vocal is more present and lifelike. What more could a hardcore fan want?" Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, August/September 2005, Issue 155

"The quality is outstanding both in terms of sound, pressing quality and packaging and not to be missed under any circumstances. For those who have yet to hear them, Kassem has ... in a box set, (issued) many of the greatest hits by Creedence Clearwater Revival on 45RPM...you just wouldn't believe what's in the grooves of these black gold records. Leave it to the collaborative efforts of Kassem/Gray/Hoffman to offer up something very special. A tip of the vinyl-loving hat gentleman." Richard Foster, Hi-Fi+

"I own a few test pressings from Chad's original run of individual LP reissues, and I can vouch for their superb sound and clean surfaces — but what impressed me most was the high quality of the booklet that comes with the boxed version. Whoever was the art director of that project deserves a raise, and Chad deserves thanks for creating a package that exceeds our expectations rather than just tossing off some junky scan." Art Dudley, Stereophile, August 2004

“Analogue Productions' Absolute Originals is a numbered limited-edition set, with no more than 2,500 copies in production, but the question is, is it really a collectable item? There may not be many copies of Absolute Originals made, but does anybody need a set that rounds up the hybrid SACDs of CCR's seven album, puts them in a dull LP-sized box with good liner notes from Ben Fong-Torres, and then adds a bonus 45? Surely, there are some CCR fans who have been waiting to get these SACDs and it will be nice to get them all in one place, but there is nothing truly collectable here, and nothing to offer the fans who already have the discs, or 2001's excellent box set Creedence Clearwater Revival, which had all the albums plus a bunch of bonus material that does not appear here. Yes, the music is great, but it's easier and cheaper to get it elsewhere. So, for those who want the SACDs in an oversized box, they would do well to turn here, but most fans and collectors will not find this to be necessary in the slightest.” AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
