The album finally came back down to a normal price so I grabbed one off of Amazon. Playing it now and ripping it down for my phone. Great album.Slenver wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 12:07 pmThat's excellent work! Very pleased to have been of some helpTaipan wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 10:48 am@Slenver Finally got round to watching it. HTF he wasn't on my radar I don't know. What an incredible and remarkable story! Album will be bought. Thanks for bringing him and the documentary to my attention.Taipan wrote: Sun Aug 27, 2023 4:14 pm Searching for Sugar Man is on Sky Documentaries today and 16:20 and obviously now on catch up.![]()
There's a second album too which is also great, though the first one is the real classic.
For reference, when I watched the film the first time, there was a South African at my work. Probably about 25, so too young to have been there at the time, but I asked him about Rodruigez to see if the film had exaggerated anything. He told me it was exactly like the film said and that everyone there knows his music as much as they do Hendrix or Bob Marley.

The curse has claimed 100% so far. Mock it at your peril. S'all I'm sayin'.

Infamous self-proclaimed gangster Dave Courtney topped himself. I suspect there will be more to follow about this...
