I don't see a signature that looks like John Fogerty's anywhere on there, but as you noted it's really hard to see. I can't make heads or tails of the scrawl on the bottom, if that's JF on the top left it is atypical of his signature.

"John" is on top, thank you!

Thanks for clarifying, Samuel. I've studied JF a good bit but in fairness those would be more recent signatures. I'm not saying it's definitely not real because autographs change over time and it's very common for someone to go to a more abbreviated style as they get more popular and wind up signing a lot more.  Hopefully someone who knows his early signature will chime in.

Thank you. I am collecting autographs for a long time and I even have a personalized John Fogerty autograph to me (I never met John, but a journalist friend did). The photos I obtained of this item are not very clear, but my instinct says, the sigs could be genuine - but then, who knows...

That's a cool autograph to have, I love CCR. And make no mistake, John Fogerty was CCR. They may have been a band in name, but John was the only one that mattered.

Here's an example of vintage CCR autographs from the same period.

Assuming those are real, as best I can see from a faded picture, the John Fogerty on the LP compares well to this one. A big difference from his more recent sig. for sure.
