Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Special 20bit K2 Japanese limited edition issue of the album classic in a deluxe, miniaturized LP sleeve replica of the original vinyl album artwork. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Creedence Clearwater Revival Photos
Amazon.com essential recording: If, as many contend, Creedence Clearwater Revival was the foremost singles rock band of its time, Cosmo's Factory is the ultimate end-of-the-'60s singles album. Indeed, seven of the album's 11 tracks turn up on Chronicle, CCR's best hits collection. That said, Cosmo's is really a must-own in its entirety. No other album so adeptly laces together the various strands of the CCR sound. John Fogerty's ready-for-AM-radio knack surfaces in "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Up Around the Bend." His sober side is in evidence on "Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Long As I Can See the Light." And no white group of its time could cover black music with as much natural flair; check out the 11-minute cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" for proof. The band broke up two albums after the release of this, their apex LP, but Cosmo's Factory cemented CCR's standing as a great American band. --Steven Stolder Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Great American Band hits their peakWith Concord Music Group having purchased the Fantasy catalog, the fortieth anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival's debut LP provides a suitable opportunity for a fresh round of reissues. All six of the original foursome's albums (from 1968's Creedence Clearwater Revival through 1970's Pendulum) have been struck from new digital masters and augmented by previously unreleased tracks. Those who purchased the 2001 box set can pick up most of the bonus tracks separately as digital downloads (the two longest bonuses are CD-only). Those who didn't buy the box, and think they'll buy all six reissues may want to consider the box set for its inclusion of pre-Creedence work from the Blue Velvets and Golliwogs, the seventh CCR album Mardi Gras, the ...

Sound and package are great. Although as I type this I only listened to this album. Love the bonus tracks. What an album. Rating: - Every one's a winner!There are few bands in rock history who have put together so many fine songs on so many top quality albums. Every song is worthy of being on this wonderful album, which my son so aptly describes as the Abbey Road of CCR's many fine compilations. Almost every song is so well known that I won't try and review them one by one, although failure to mention any song almost calls for an apology. It is significant that most of them are at least as appealing now as they were when they made a huge impact on release almost 40 years ago. Consider the almost frantic Travelin' Band, the superb Ramble Tamble, Up Around The Bend, that quickstep standard (Lookin' Out My Back Door), the Woodstock reference (Who'll Stop The Rain) and ... Read More: Rating: - Sheer Backwoods GeniusRamble Tamble is, IMHO, the best song CCR ever did. It hit my stereo in the summer of '70, and its menacing lyrics, combined with a gradually accelerating train ride pace that careened throughout with chugging rhythm section and eerie lead guitar, grabbed my head and gut and wouldn't let go until it finally spun back into its foot-stomping accompaniment to John Fogarty's wailing complaint about modern life. It was a hot summer, what with the War heating up and general craziness in the air, and this song captured the West Coast mood perfectly. And the rest of the album ain't bad, either. Rating: - Almost a Greatest Hits album on its ownAs a long time listener of rock in the 70's, there are seven of the eleven songs that I would consider hits due to my recollection of hearing them regularly. Those that didn't get air play are still decent pieces, and I don't skip over any tunes when I play this CD. |
