Description

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Rodriguez, a Mexican-American singer/songwriter and guitarist, released his first album Cold Fact on the Sussex label in 1970. It’s one of the lost classics of the late 1960s to early 1970s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion. Relatively unknown in the USA, Rodriguez was unaware that his defining album had become a cult classic in South Africa, selling an estimated half-million copies. After releasing further albums such as: Coming From Reality, After The Fact and The Best of Rodriguez, he then disappeared from the music scene for over two decades until he was rediscovered working as a day laborer in Detroit, Michigan.

Searching for Sugar Man, a documentary on his musical journey, won the Oscar for best documentary at the 85th annual Academy Awards in 2013 and helped push the reissue of his first album Cold Fact back onto the Billboard 200. In 85 years of the Academy Awards, only a handful of music-oriented films have won the documentary prize.

This Cold Fact LP offered for sale is Sixto Rodriguez’s original South African release from 1974. Sixto is erroneously spelled as Sicto on the vinyl label. It has been tested on a turntable and plays perfectly. As with any 45 year old vinyl record, it has fine surface marks but no scratches that would affect the playing.
