GUARANTEED Throughout 1969 and into 1970, CCR toured incessantly and recorded nearly as much.
Appropriately, Cosmo s Factory s first single was the working band s anthem Travelin Band, a funny, piledriving rocker with a blaring horn section -- the first indication their sonic palette was broadening.
Two more singles appeared prior to the album s release, backed by John Fogerty originals that rivaled the A-side or paled just slightly.
When it came time to assemble a full album, Fogerty had only one original left, the claustrophobic, paranoid rocker Ramble Tamble.
Unlike some extended instrumentals, this was dramatic and had a direction -- a distinction made clear by the meandering jam that brings CCR s version of I Heard It Through the Grapevine to 11 minutes.
Even if it wanders, their take on the Marvin Gaye classic isn t unpleasant, and their faithful, exuberant takes on the Sun classics Ooby Dooby and My Baby Left Me are joyous tributes.
Still, the heart of the album lays in those six fantastic songs released on singles.
Up Around the Bend is a searing rocker, one of their best, balanced by the menacing murkiness of Run Through the Jungle.
Who ll Stop the Rain s poignant melody and melancholy undertow has a counterpart in Fogerty s dope song, Lookin out My Back Door, a charming, bright shuffle, filled with dancing animals and domestic bliss - he had never been as sweet and silly as he is here.
On Long as I Can See the Light, the record s final song, he again finds solace in home, anchored by a soulful, laid-back groove.
It hits a comforting, elegiac note, the perfect way to draw Cosmo s Factory -- an album made during stress and chaos, filled with raging rockers, covers, and intense jams -- to a close.
EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/ Upon release, this, the fifth Creedence studio album, went platinum before you could say Ooby Dooby , spawning no less than four 4 top-ten charting hit singles plus the fifth, the 11-minute version of Marvin Gaye s I heard it through the grapevine , which went top-ten in 1976, more than six years after the album was released .
Some of the songs in this album are literally and figuratively the finest Rock Roll music has to offer.
This is an increasingly relatively rare original pressing, on the blue Fantasy label, and is pressed on the thick, inflexible slab of vinyl, which probably explains why it sounds much, much better than the Fantasy compact disc.
Track listing: Ramble Tamble - Before you accuse me - Travelin Band - Ooby Dooby - Lookin out my back door - Run through the jungle - Up around the band - My baby left me - Who ll stop the rain - I heard it through the grapevine - As long as I can see the light Finding a still sealed original copy? ?
