The Once-Lost Psychedelic-Folk Classic That Helped Inspire the Award-Winning Documentary Searching for Sugarman: Rodriguez's Cold Fact Mesmerizes with Atmospheric Arrangements and Socially Conscious Narratives
Hear the 1970 Album Produced by Motown Funk Brother Dennis Coffey in Definitive Sound: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Plays with Revealing Tones, Clarity, and Soundstages Sixto Rodriguez was showered with international acclaim owing to the varied arrangements, direct commentary, and evocative vocal performances on Cold Fact. It would just take decades to happen. Originally released by Sussex Records in 1970, the singer-songwriter's debut quickly faded into obscurity and forced the Detroit native to go back to being a manual laborer. Yet, as much great art does, the album's melodic psychedelic-folk and topically relevant lyrics ultimately found a large audience - and led to one of the most intriguing music stories of the 21st century. Mastered at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's California studio, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, the reissue label's numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents Cold Fact in definitive sound. It features terrific instrumental separation, tight and controlled bass, and a plethora of tasteful accents that frame Rodriguez's simple albeit charismatic voice. These and other prized sonic traits credited to Motown Funk Brother Dennis Coffey's production come into clear focus via wide, well-defined 45RPM grooves, dead-quiet surfaces, and a low noise floor. Every note on the record testifies as to why it transcended it's cult status and went on to sell more than a quarter million copies Stateside. As they say, better late than never. 1/4' / 15 IPS ANALOG COPY DSD 256 ALANLOG CONSOLE LATHE Numbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP LIMITED EDITION OF 4,000

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
