-BACON (NOT SHAKESPEARE)

When we last left you, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL had just received their 4th gold record in 1969 (for "BAD MOON RISING”) and we were shooting off our mouth about how Creedence could get 8 Gold Records during 1969 by just maintaining their normal sales pattern.

Welllll, late August and early September saw Creedence get their

5th and 6th gold records for the "GREEN RIVER”/"COMMOTION” single and LP. The LP earned its gold record on advance orders but it took us 8 full weeks to sell the million singles. Record history was made when Billboard listed it at #127 the same day we went over

500,000 LPs; which then made it the best-selling #127 in the record industry’s printed annals.

P.S. There is no rate on gold records when you order two at a time and they will not take LPs in exchange. * * *

PPS #1 Len Levy did get his gold record for The Winstons' “COLOR HIM FATHER If we could only pick hits for our labels! * * *

PPS #2 Things are going so good we are planning a new logo and printed letterheads. 100 w w ^ TOP Albums AND 4 TRACK
