The first take of a song was performed by the whole band, with various members going in later for a wide variety of instrumental and vocal overdubs, including a saxophone section played entirely by John Fogerty, as well as extensive use of keyboards by Fogerty and Cook. However, on Pendulum the members learned the songs in the studio. On previous albums, the group had rehearsed songs before entering the studio. The album was recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco, and took a month to complete-an unusually long time for the band. It also contains an uncharacteristic venture into avant-garde psychedelia, the closing instrumental "Rude Awakening #2". Among several lesser-known Fogerty songs ("Pagan Baby", "Sailor's Lament", "It's Just a Thought", "Born to Move") were two top-ten hits, "Hey Tonight" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain". The most sonically adventurous CCR album, Pendulum is noted for its widespread use of saxophone and keyboards, in contrast to the group's previous albums, which were dominated by guitar. It was also the last album to feature John Fogerty as the record's sole producer. It was the last album the band recorded with Tom Fogerty, who would leave the band to start a solo career. Pendulum is their only album to not contain any cover songs all tracks were written by John Fogerty.
