Coming from Reality

VINYL FORMAT. LP features old-school tip on jackets, liner notes, and 180-gram vinyl, plus bonus 7" of the previously unreleased cuts "Can't Get Away" and "Street Boy."

Back in 1971, Coming From Reality was Rodriguez's last gasp, the follow-up to Cold Fact and the final album he was allowed to record for the Sussex label. Unearthed, once again by Light In The Attic Records, it's another treat for fans new and old, designed as Rodriguez's vision of a perfect pop album. Coming From Reality found Rodriguez decamping from Detroit to London's Lansdowne Studios, where the album was recorded with some of the UK's top talent including Chris Spedding (Harry Nilsson, Sex Pistols, Dusty Springfield) and producer Steve Rowland (The Pretty Things, PJ Proby and the man who discovered The Cure), who recalls Coming From Reality as his all time favorite recording project. The reissue also includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks recorded in Detroit in 1972 with Cold Fact collaborators Mike Theodore and Dennis Coffey, representing the last thing the trio ever did together.
