Rodriguez - Cold Fact (7707737) LP

Originally released in 1970, Cold Fact is the stunning debut album by Detroit singer-songwriter Rodriguez. Fusing folk, psychedelia, soul, and socially conscious lyricism, the album features iconic tracks like “Sugar Man,” “I Wonder,” and “Crucify Your Mind.”

Though initially overlooked in the US, Cold Fact gained legendary status in South Africa and Australia, later leading to Rodriguez’s rediscovery and global acclaim, as documented in the Oscar-winning film Searching for Sugar Man.
