Cosmo’s Factory was the fourth and biggest of the string of five Top 10 albums Creedence Clearwater Revival released in 1969 and 1970. Included were Travelin’ Band, Lookin’ Out My Back Door, Who’ll Stop the Rain, Run Through the Jungle and covers from Marvin Gaye (CCR’s signature take on “I Heard it Through the Grapevine), Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison and Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup. Bonus material includes a bare bones, horns-free remake of Travelin’ Band, a live version of Up Around the Bend from the 1971 European tour, plus an unreleased version of Born on the Bayou emanating from the CCR/Booker T & the MGs summit which took place in 1970 at Cosmo’s Factory studio.
