Creedence Gold is a compilation album of the band Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1972. More Creedence Gold formed the second part, released in 1973.
The original vinyl release featured pictures of the band under the colored profile flaps on the cover. Overseas releases switched the cover art, with the band photo on the front, and the colored silhouettes on the back.
A quadraphonic version of this album was released on both vinyl and 8-track cartridge formats, and is considered one of the rarest quadraphonic releases.
