"When our friend Dave sent us a message from New York telling us that our Midwest Punk hero, Connie Voltaire, had sent him a tape of Creedence Clearwater Revival covers some time ago, we honestly didn't believe that something so insane could exist, and we thought that Dave was confusing it with the tape in which Connie revisited the Kinks' "The Village Green Preservation Society", to which he answered me with the following msg: "Absolutely! When i saw the tape said CCR, I thought " no it couldn't be". I pop it in and hear Connie start screaming "Bad Moon Rising"."
Later we contacted our friend Connie, asking him about this recording, to which he replied that indeed it had happened, but he did not have any more tapes, nor the digital sound, so if our friend Dave could rip the sound of that tape, we were free to upload it, and that what he did keep was a digital version of the coverart.
The result is this authentic madness, in which Connie and his band QQQL cover the fucking Creedence Clearwater Revival in the only midwest crazy way that only they know how to do it.
Thank you so much Dave, this really happened because of you, the sound sucks, but we honestly thought it would be much worse. You've done an excellent job, and we couldn't be happier to be able to share the kind of stuff that gives meaning to Tremendo Garaje's existence!"

The tape turns at 21:39, so we had to splice the two pieces together, but we don't think that matters much either, enjoy!
