why three names on the same album?


I wanted them to explain why he had three variations of his name on one vinyl label and sleeve. I know he used different variations of his name, but on one LP, that is somewhat odd. They brought it up but left it hanging. I suppose some of the songs were "registered", or whatever it is you call it when you write a song, at different times. That helps explain the parenthetical notes on the song list, but even the sleeve/liner notes had variations.

Hi,
He's named Sixto because he is the sixth son/daughter (hispanic tradition, sexto means sixth).
So I suppose Sixth Prince comes from that. You've also got Sixto Rodriguez and I read somewher that poeple also call him Jesus. Jesus Rodriguez.
