Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory, released in 1973, was the fifth studio album by the British rock band Traffic. It followed their 1971 hit The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and contained only 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. The album was remastered in 2003. And like its predecessor, the original jacket for the Shoot Out LP had its top right and bottom left corners clipped.
