Editing Cosmo's Factory (section)

==Album title and artwork==
The name of the album comes from the warehouse in [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]] where the band rehearsed early in their career, which was dubbed "The Factory" by drummer [[Doug Clifford|Doug "Cosmo" Clifford]], because bandleader [[John Fogerty]] made them practice there almost every day.<ref>{{cite web|title=Creedence Clearwater Revival-Cosmo's Factory|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/1319/Creedence-Clearwater-Revival-Cosmos-Factory/|access-date=January 14, 2014|archive-date=April 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210425174914/https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/1319/Creedence-Clearwater-Revival-Cosmos-Factory/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2013, Clifford recalled to ''[[Goldmine (magazine)|Goldmine]]'' that "John knew the press would be all over us for the album, so he said that he would name the album after me and that I would have to deal with it. He wanted the pressure off of him. It was our biggest album ever and I tell people that they named it after me, so it had to be a hit [laughter]. That's a joke!"<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wright |first=Jeb |date=Sep 14, 2013 |title=Cosmo Clifford, Stu Cook keep the faith with Creedence Clearwater Revisited |url=https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/cosmo-clifford-stu-cook-keep-the-faith-with-creedence-clearwater-revisited |website=Goldmine}}</ref>

The cover photo was taken by Bob Fogerty, brother of John and Tom. As David Cavanagh of ''Uncut'' wrote in 2012: "The album's front cover showed the four of them caught by a camera in an off-duty moment, a proudly uncool quartet who looked more like lumberjacks than rock stars." The handwritten sign affixed to the support post at the left of the photo that reads "3RD GENERATION" is an ironic reference to something rock music critic [[Ralph Gleason]] wrote in the liner notes of the band's [[Creedence Clearwater Revival (album)|debut album]]: "Creedence Clearwater Revival is an excellent example of the Third Generation of San Francisco bands".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Fogerty|first=John|title=Fortunate Son|publisher=Little, Brown, and Company|year=2016|isbn=978-0-316-24458-9|location=US|pages=147}}</ref>
