What do Lou Reed, Lucio Battisti and Rodriguez have in common?

It all started with a phone call: “I was in New York on a business trip when a close associate of Lou Reed called me,” says Matt Sullivan, co-founder and owner of Light in The Attic. “They asked me if we were interested in listening to some unreleased recordings of Lou in Laurie Anderson’s office.” Sullivan calls it “The call of a lifetime”, but the history of this label is full of moments like this. Like when “Searching for Sugar Man” won the Oscar in 2012, giving new worldwide fame to Sixto Rodriguez – who Sullivan had started publishing 4 years earlier. In its catalogue, LITA also has “Amore e non amore” by Battisti, published on the American market a few years ago.
