Cosmo's Factory- the name drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford gave CCR's rehearsal studio because so many hits were created there- lived up to its namesake in spades. Released in July 1970, the album contained more hit singles (six) than any other CCR LP, achieved multi-platinum
status and became the band's all-time best-selling album both in the U.S. and worldwide (69 weeks on the Billboard charts). In addition, the trailblazing extended version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine (which Rolling Stone pronounced "more intense than any six minutes of Grateful Dead music on record") was never released as a single during the group's heyday but received enormous AM and FM airplay, boosting both the song and the LP to No. 1 on all three trade music charts.
Originally released in 1970.
