What Did You Buy? - evilB - 27-07-2012
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:not a purchase as such but Corey's mate Tem, who now runs the cd shop told me he was going through his cd's on the weekend as was getting rid of the ones he either dislikes or has no musical attachment to...he said that equates to somewhere between 50-100 cds...he was going to throw them out, i suggested he goes through them again and i'll take them off his hands, said i could have them for no cost...not eager to take for nothing so i offered him $40 for the lot...he agreed to do so.
am arranging to see him next week, should be a surprise as i do not know what im getting and being as he is in his late 20's, his era of music is not mine, hoping to get a few good ones out of it, but expecting a few duds also, that said though he does apparently have quite a diverse/eclectic range of music in his collection...
time will tell i guess, but cant really go wrong for $40 IMO considering the current retail price of cds here is $30(i generally get them for between $10-$15 though).
That sounds like a very good time ahead for you Crazy-Horse. The journey through a collection will likely produce a few new finds for you.

That is an incredible haul. Should be a pretty incredible time going through all that music.
Also, I've been waiting for this for quite a while, just came out today. Love it.

[h=2]Product Description[/h][h=3]CD Description[/h]As the sixties came to a close in 1969 Mexican-American singer songwriter, Sixto Diaz Rodriguez was on the verge of something great. Following a brief and unsuccessful stint with local label Impact Records, the Detroit native had signed a new deal with fledgling Sussex Records and was about to release his debut record Cold Fact. Despite the initial promise of greatness and the quality of the record, Cold Fact was a commercial failure on its release in 1970. When his 1971 follow up record, Coming From Reality also failed to connect Rodriguez left Sussex Records and returned to family life in Detroit working in construction, teaching and even a career in local politics. It seemed as though Rodriguez and his music had disappeared in to obscurity. Thankfully this is just the first chapter in his remarkable story. A few years later and unbeknown to Rodriguez, Cold Fact had become a word-of-mouth, cult classic in Australia and New Zealand. The renewed profile of his music resulted in a 1979 and 1981 tour of Australia supporting Midnight Oil, Men At Work and Split Enz. But it was to be South Africa and in the homes and hearts of the anti-Apartheid liberals that Rodriguez would really strike a chord and achieve the superstar status that alluded him on home soil. Amid wild and fantastical stories of his ‘disappearance’, some even involving an alleged on-stage suicide, two South African fans set out to find out what really happened to their hero, and their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of the many myths they’d heard. Their story forms the basis of Searching For Sugar Man and one of the greatest accompanying soundtracks of all time.

^ Very good artist Crazy...one of Jerome's favorites !
What Did You Buy? - Jerome - 01-08-2012
Without a doubt. And one of the best lyricists I've ever heard. In my acoustic folky period playing guitar with friends in pubs, Rodriguez was always in the mix. There were very few people in SA at the time that did not have his album (Cold Fact). It struck a chord with the South African youth. Money well spent CH! His words just cut to the chase. Two of my favorites do not appear on this collection but worth seeking out if you are a fan - or become one. (Hate Street Dialogue & Rich Folks Hoax).

Footnote: If you do not like this album your IQ is obviously well below 250. Too bad. Oh well, I suppose the rest of us will just have to plow a lonely furrow.
