Rodriguez: Cold Fact (1970 Detroit Sussex Promo Vinyl Rip) | MoFi Reissue Stream

Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome into today's end-of-week stream. With the big news dropping earlier this week that Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) is officially giving Detroit, Michigan legend Rodriguez's 1970 debut Cold Fact an audiophile reissue, I knew I had to pull my original copy out of the vault for today's session. We aren't going to get bogged down in all the reissue specs today. Instead, we're letting the music speak for itself by listening to an original 1970 US Sussex promo pressing (SXBS 7000) featuring the rare pasted center labels. Recorded right in Detroit and produced by Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore, Cold Fact is an absolute masterpiece of gritty urban folk, biting political commentary, and psychedelic soul. From the iconic trip of "Sugar Man" to the raw fuzz of "Only Good For Conversation" and the street-level poetry of "Establishment Blues," this record remains one of the greatest singer-songwriter achievements of the 1970s. Pour your Friday coffee or favorite drink, settle in, and let's spin this original pressing! 00:00 Intro 03:12 My Rodriguez LPs in my collection 05:58 The needle drops on 'Cold Fact' 47:04 3 non LP tracks from the Searching for Sugarman soundtrack 48:52 'Can't Get Away' 1970 unreleased track 53:37 'Street Boy' 1972 unreleased track 58:33 'I'll Slip Away' 1967 song rerecorded in 1972 1:02:30 comparing Sugarman 2008 Light in Attic vs 1970 Promo 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ #Rodriguez #ColdFact #DetroitMusic #SussexRecords #MoFi #FolkRock #PsychedelicFolk #SugarMan #PromoVinyl #VinylRip #VinylPiper #FridayStream #1970sVinyl
