Fantasy Records used a blue and white "lightning bolt" label for Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) vinyl records primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s, specifically appearing on reissues and compilations like the offered “Chronicle”. This label replaced the earlier "Full Radial Stereo" label and was used on 9500 series pressings around 1977-1980. 

 

Key Details on Fantasy Lightning Bolt Labels (CCR):

• Era: Used for CCR reissues generally from the late 1970s to 1983.
• Appearance: A light blue sky with a blue and white "lightning bolt" design, often referred to as the 9500 series label.
• Reissues: These labels are common on many, but not all, of the CCR studio album reissues from that era.
• Timeline: The lightning bolt label was in use on some Fantasy LPs until 1983, when they transitioned to an aqua label.
• Chronicle: The popular Chronicle (1976) compilation often features this label on later 1970s/1980s pressings. 

These labels are distinct from the original late 60s/early 70s labels and are generally considered second or later pressings of the classic CCR catalog. 

The blue sky with lightning bolts label was first available in 1977.
