coming from reality

180 gram vinyl Rodriguez's last gasp, the follow-up to Cold Fact & the final album he was allowed to record for the Sussex label. 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. Highlights include the super-poppy "To Whom It May Concern", the Rocky Raccoon-inspired "A Most Disgusting Song" & period piece "Heikki's Suburbia Bus Tour". The reissue also includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks recorded in Detroit in 1972 with Cold Fact collaborators Mike Theodore & Dennis Coffey, representing the last thing the trio ever did together."
