Description:

A reissue of the classic album by Rodriguez, the singer/songwriter portrayed in the documentary film "Sugarman: The Man Loved by Miracles," which won the 2012 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film, is now available! Cold Fact is the debut album by singer/songwriter Rodriguez. Originally released on the Sussex label in the U.S. in March 1970, it was released on A&M in South Africa in 1971, and in Australia in 1976, where it reached #23 on the National Albums Chart and spent 55 weeks on the chart. In 1998, it was certified as a platinum album in South Africa and a 5X platinum album in Australia. Despite his success in both countries, Rodriguez's near-unknown status in his native United States was sparked by Light in the Attic Records' 2008/9 reissues and the 2012 Academy Award-winning documentary feature film Sugarman: The Man Loved by Miracles, a documentary film featuring Rodriguez.This film, which follows the story of how Rodriguez's song, which had gone largely unknown in the U.S., exploded as a symbolic anti-apartheid song in South Africa in the late 1970s, brought his work back into the spotlight. 180g vinyl. Black vinyl.
