“Cosmo's Factory” is the fifth studio album by American
rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in July
1970, and released as “Fantasy 8402” – the same month as the single release of
"Lookin' Out My Back Door" with "Long as I Can See the
Light" on the B side.
The name of the album comes from the warehouse in Berkeley where the band rehearsed early in their career. It was dubbed "The Factory" by drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, because bandleader John Fogerty made them practice there almost every day.
