Cosmo's Factory is the fifth album by American band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in 1970.
The peak of a prolific streak, Cosmo's Factory was Creedence's fifth album in less than two years.
It was a major commercial success, reaching #1 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, and spawning three top-5 singles; "Lookin' Out My Back Door" (US #2), "Travelin' Band" (US #2), and "Up Around the Bend" (US #4) were all big hits. More amazingly, it also reached #11 on what was then the Billboard Soul Albums chart, a crossover feat nearly unheard of for a white pop/rock band.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 265 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The name of the album comes from the warehouse in Berkeley where the band rehearsed.
John Fogerty was so insistent on practicing (nearly every day) that drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford began referring to the place as "the factory".
