Creedence Clearwater Revival is celebrating the 50th anniversary of their fifth album, Cosmo's Factory, by releasing a half-speed master edition on 180-gram vinyl coming up on August 14th.
This album was previously only available as part of CCR’s collectible, seven-LP Studio Albums Collection box set.
A video is also being put together for the album's last song, "Long as I Can See the Light," and you can be part of it. This is set to premiere in time for Father's Day and fans are encouraged to share videos and photos showing cherished memories with fathers, grandfathers and other important mentors in their lives. The deadline for submissions is June 1st. For full details, go to LongAsICanSeeTheLight.com.
