Cosmo's Factory



         


Creedence Clearwater Revivals fifth album, released in 1970. The music on the album was straight rock and roll.

The peak of a prolific streak, Cosmo's Factory was Creedence's fifth disc in less than two years.

The name of the album comes from the warehouse in Berkeley where the band rehearsed. Bandleader John Fogerty was so insistent on practicing (nearly every day) that drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford began referring to the place as "the factory".

It was a major commercial success, reaching #1 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, and spawning no less than six top 5 singles. More amazingly, it also reached #11 on what was then the Billboard Black Albums chart, a crossover feat nearly unheard of for a white pop/rock band.
