I've been listening to Rodriguez since I discovered Sugar Man on an old vinyl I found at a garage sale when I was 11 (20 years ago). If it werent for that, I would have thought this whole situation to be a hoax. Already own the physical DVD, so I wont pay for it via Google. Great film.

After watching this fairly unique documentary that doesn't treat the audience like a 4 year-old, I was sold. I bought both albums and have thus far enjoyed them immensely. Watch this film if you are a fan of music.

I can't believe he was so famous in South Africa. Great story about great music. Rodriguez and his music were ahead of their time. A really humble man that some one took advantage of. Looking at you Clarence Avant.
