I'm very pleased with this compilation, even though mine doesn't have a bonus disc. The other compilations all leave something to be desired. The "Chronicle" disc leaves off "Born On The Bayou" so you have to buy Volume 2 for it. The "Creedence Gold" and "More Creedence Gold" have a nice selection, but are too expensive. I almost bought the 2-disc "Best Of" import, but I'm glad I found "The Ultimate Collection", it's the best value for the price.

The raw, earthy, unmistakable Southern style of Creedence Clearwater Revival is concidered timeless to music connoisseurs. The highlights of this double-CD album are all of the US hit tracks added to their virtuouso 11 minute remix of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it Through the Grapevine". The rest of the tracks include the trademark licks and bluesy rythms from the Fogerty brothers which do well to compliment the rest of the album.

If you have Cronicals, Platinum or another CCR hits-compilation, and you wish to hear more from these geniuses of simplicity - then take a listen at least to this album, but you are likely to have heard most of the content of album. However if you only want to buy one album that encapsulates this great Foursome from the San Fransisco Bay area- this is for you. After listening to this you will be left wondering why such talent was never able to produce a US no. 1.

Stick me on an Island with only these 2 disks and I would be happy for the rest of my life.

Has all the hits I was looking for. I'm also buying John Fogerty's other new albums as he is an amazing talent and I like encouraging him to do more since he had to sit on the sidelines for so long with the unfortunate rights mistake he made as a kid.

What rock have you been hiding under if you dont know these songs? If you like this band, i strongly recomend this album!

Creedence Clearwater is a Band that I can vibe with.I enjoy the Rugged Vocals&Instrumentation that has a raw element&feel to it but yet the Guitar Playing has a Simple Light feel to it all at once.John Foggerty has a Solid Pressence as a Lead Singer.this is a strong collection of there Material.

I thought this was just another great cd by a great band. They never let you down. Creedence Clearwater gets their point across and entertains you at the same time.
