Creedence Clearwater Revival was not the only blues-rock band on Fantasy in the late '60s-early '70s. Here are two equally good sides from a lesser-known group called Redwing.
Obscure and forgotten pop/rock treasures from the 60s and 70s...all from the platter of a turntable.

Plum Run - Little Miss Inside (1969)
Whoever Plum Run were, they left us with this excellent slice of bubblegum, a very early release on the Avco Embassy label.
New Hope - Look Away/The Money Game (1970)
I told you how much I loved the New Hope's first single on here, "Won't Find Better". The production quality on this one is great too - the A-side, as unconventional as it is, has been an earworm for me since I bought it a few weeks ago. The B-side is pretty hard-driving and features some great fuzz work.
Billy Shears and the All Americans - Message To Seymour (1969)
The A-side is a fairly popular example of a response song to the "Paul is dead" controversy - even the band's name is Beatles-inspired. But this B-side is kind of strange in a good way. No idea who these fellows are, either...
The Smoke Ring - High On A Rainbow (1970)
Here's a nice pop piece from the guys that gave you "No, Not Much" (which will be featured on here later). It sounds exactly like you might expect from the title.
The Music Machine - Absolutley Positively/Double Yellow Line (1967)
Sorry for the wait! Organizing my collection and working and driving and blah blah blah here have some Bonniwell. This one's "absolutley" a classic!

Not Dead
Hey, folks. Just popping in to let you know that I'm still here!
I'm coming off of a huge purchase of early-70s promos, so once I get those sorted out and scanned, I'll digitize and post them. Stay tuned!
