While I do not suggest that the track order or times be edited on the official Discogs release, it is probably worth noting that, although the inset, tray card and disc label suggest otherwise, the ninth track is actually "Like Janis" and the twelfth track is actually "Jane S Piddy". It is probably also worth noting that the track times printed on the insert and tray card do not reflect reality. Here is the track order and times in reality:
1. Sugar Man 3:50
2. Only Good For Conversation 2:24
3. Crucify Your Mind 2:33
4. This Is Not A Song, It's an Outburst: Or, The Establishment Blues 2:07
5. Hate Street Dialogue 2:34
6. Forget It 1:57
7. Inner City Blues 3:27
8. I Wonder 2:34
9. Like Janis 2:36
10. Gommorah (A Nursery Rhyme) 2:21
11. Rich Folks Hoax 3:03
12. Jane S. Piddy 2:56 -
Edited 9 years agoAbout 12 years ago a colleague who had spent many years in South Africa, who was familiar with my taste in music, introduced me to the Sugar Man, suggesting I would enjoy it, telling me how Rodriguez was popular all over the world, just unknown in the UK and US, and he told me the story about him blowing his brains out! My colleague was right about the music at least, I did like it to an extent, it's a bit like Donovan meets Leonard Cohen meets Jose Feliciano. I listen to it every now again, particularly "Rich Folks Hoax" one of the most Dylanesque pieces. Then some years later the movie "Sugar Man" was released, all of a sudden loads of people that I knew had "discovered" him, and so many people got carried away with the uplifting redemption story in the film that for a very brief period you'd think he was the artist of the century; someone in the film itself proclaimed that he was a better writer than Dylan! Fair play to Rodriguez, I hope his renaissance may live long, I do like this but it's not ground breaking, I would suggest that all the people who dig this broaden their listening experiences to more music from the mid sixties onwards.
