Description

💎 MUSEUM-GRADE COLLECTOR'S COPY: STILL FACTORY SEALED

Presenting an impossibly rare, First Pressing copy of Rodriguez’s second masterpiece, Coming From Reality. Released in 1971 on Sussex Records, this album is a cornerstone of psychedelic folk history. While most copies were played into the ground or lost to time, this specimen has remained Factory Sealed for over 50 years.

Listing Highlights:

• True 1st Pressing (1971): Verified by the original Sussex SXBS 7012 cataloging and the 1971 copyright.

• Die-Cut Gatefold Cover: Features the iconic original die-cut front panel—a hallmark of the first US pressings.

• Condition: New Old Stock (NOS). The shrink wrap is tight and original, with no significant tears or "breath holes" (unless visible in photos). The corners are sharp, and the spine is crisp and un-faded.

• Investment Grade: As the market for Rodriguez continues to soar, sealed original Sussex pressings have become "blue chip" assets for serious vinyl investors.
