Description from the seller

Rodriguez – Cold Fact
Original South African Second Pressing Sussex SXBS 7000 (1974)
A genuinely collectable South African pressing of Rodriguez’s landmark 1970 debut, Cold Fact—the album that made him an underground icon in South Africa long before Searching for Sugar Man introduced his story to the world. This is the sought-after 1974 Sussex second South African pressing, catalogue no. SXBS 7000, following the original 1971 A&M South African release.
Featuring enduring classics including “Sugar Man,” “I Wonder,” “Crucify Your Mind,” and “Inner City Blues,” this LP captures Rodriguez’s haunting folk-psych sound and remains essential for fans of Rodriguez, Searching for Sugar Man, psychedelic folk, and rare South African vinyl. The album became a major cult success in South Africa, where it reportedly achieved platinum status.
Also see Searching for Sugarman a recent documentary made on Rodriguez life and fame in South Africa.
