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
