Last year Sixto Rodriguez was responsible for one of my favorite reissues of 2008 — 1970′s Cold Fact. He also composed an Off The Record that pissed some folks off. Good times. This spring Light In The Attic reissued the follow up to Cold Fact entitled Coming From Reality. We have copies of both the CD and vinyl for AD readers. Leave a comment with your name and email address. Winners contacted via email.

5 | Sara May 11th, 2009 at 12:47 amReally like Cold Fact, so I´m curious.
6 | Ramone666 May 11th, 2009 at 2:32 amAbsolutely love Rodriquez. Managed to catch him live playing with a back-up band from South AFrica called Big Sky. Cold Fact is one of those absolutely amazing lp’s where you know all the lyrics but is not sure what the title is.
7 | Mario May 11th, 2009 at 5:20 amGood to see he is not dead anymore, neither has he disappeared.
Oh…so good !
I love…
I’m French, and I listen AD every day, it’s really nice !

26 | Will Buckingham May 11th, 2009 at 3:09 pmmy buddy is a detroiter who’s going through some tough times, much like the city. we went and saw rodriguez at schubas in chicago last saturday and both were blown away by this man. his music, sadly, transcends time.

i was just planning on playing Rodriguez for my high school class as we discuss music of the 1960s and address the influence of Mexican-Americans on the counterculture!
can’t wait for the new old-tunes!
29 | cosmic cowboy May 11th, 2009 at 8:35 pmi climbed up on this post…. in hopes of taking the album home with me

35 | Lisa Pinero May 12th, 2009 at 1:03 amClarity and fuzz. This (and the first post that initially turned me on to Rdrgz) spurred on a little song-writing crescendo in my life- I can do it… I can’t do it… I can do it. Clarity and fuzz.

There’s a trail I walk every time I head down Sailor Bar-
the way is worn and narrow; sunlight tumbles through

37 | Tom May 12th, 2009 at 10:32 amLoved Cold Fact and would love a companion vinyl copy of Coming from Reality but would settle with a cd too.
Thanks, as always love the site.
38 | Andrew May 12th, 2009 at 2:07 pmThanks for generosity.
I’m a format agnostic. I’ll take whatever. I just want to hear the music.
39 | michael b May 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pmWonderful stuff, Rodriquez — love the CD, please?
40 | Peter May 12th, 2009 at 5:40 pmhi there – big fan of AD for awhile now. like most everyone who posted, loved cold fact and dying to hear coming from reality on cool cracking vinyl!
41 | rob May 12th, 2009 at 8:46 pmthanks for offering readers a chance to win.

46 | Brandon Cole May 15th, 2009 at 7:07 pmYeah!!
47 | Felix May 16th, 2009 at 9:43 amAwesome that Rodriguez has finally reached North America! I wonder how my Sussex pressing of “After the Fact” (the album’s 1976 South African manifestation with different album art) compares to this crisp new vinyl Light in the Attic offering. Naturally, I would welcome the opportunity to find out. Peace…
48 | Calum May 17th, 2009 at 3:35 pmFriend saw him live in Detroit recently and though the show was OK but Roddy was a drunk. Seven glasses of wine onstage swilled in his set. Not much care for your audience when you’re that obsessed with ethanol.
49 | Moi May 19th, 2009 at 3:34 pmsuch a classic…
