Rodriguez

Cold fact

Rare Original 1st pressing OZ LP released in 1978 on Blue Goose Records. Cat: BGM002. Although the album was originally released in 1970 iut did not get an official Australian release until this issue in 1978!!

Imagine an above-average Dylanesque street busker managing to record an album with fairly full and imaginative arrangements, and you're somewhat close to the atmosphere. Rodriguez projected the image of the aloof, alienated folk-rock songwriter, his songs jammed with gentle, stream-of-consciousness, indirect putdowns of straight society and its tensions. Likewise, he had his problems with romance, simultaneously putting down (again gently) women for their hang-ups and intimating that he could get along without them anyway ("I wonder how many times you had sex, and I wonder do you know who'll be next" he chides in the lilting "I Wonder"). At the same time, the songs were catchy and concise, with dabs of inventive backup: a dancing string section here, odd electronic yelps there, tinkling steel drums elsewhere. It's an album whose lyrics are evocative yet hard to get a handle on even after repeated listenings, with song titles like "Hate Street Dialogue," "Inner City Blues" (not the Marvin Gaye tune), and "Crucify Your Mind" representative of his eccentric, slightly troubled mindset. As it goes with folk-rock-psych singer/songwriters possessing captivating non sequitur turns of the phrase, he's just behind Arthur Lee and Skip Spence, but still worth your consideration.

Tracks : Sugar man/ Only good for conversation/ Crucify your mind/ This is not a song, it's an outburst: or, the establishment blues/ Hate street dialogue/ Forget it/ Inner city blues/ I wonder/ Jane S. Piddy/ Gommorah (a nursery rhyme)/ Rich folks hoax/ Like Janis.

Labels are lovely and clean. Record has only a few light scuff marks that produce a few light crackles only really noticeable between tracks. Record is in Excellent condition. Cover has some ring wear and a few small pieces of sticky tape on top right edge. All seams are fully intact with no sign of tears or seam splits. Cover is in VG+ condition.
