About Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory

Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory is the sixth studio album by English rock band Traffic released in 1973. It followed their 1971 album The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and contained five songs. Shoot Out, while achieving poorer reviews than its predecessor, did reach number six on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, one space higher than Low Spark had peaked in 1972. Like its predecessor, the original jacket for the Shoot Out LP had its top right and bottom left corners clipped. The album was remastered for CD in 2003. The album was recorded with four members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Barry Beckett, and Jimmy Johnson). Hood and Hawkins were listed as members of Traffic. Those two plus Beckett would go on the road with the band as evidenced by the subsequent On the Road album. more »
