A while back David approached us about the prospect of offering his final version of his long awaited album as a download at Village Records. We had much discussion about this and finally hit on the idea of offering the album as a CDR. The advantage in this case is that these music files have not been compressed to mp3 format. These are 'lossless' files that have the full sound of a regular pressed disc. They are nothing fancy but much better than a download. We can also send you the .pdf file for the insert that you can print at whatever quality suits you on your own printer. Now, about the album itself. This has been a work in progress for a few years now and David has done a couple of extremely small pressings of different incarnations of it, alternate sequencing and some tracks from different sessions. But now he has finalized the sequencing and is only using tracks from the original sessions. This is a collection of ten original Rodriguez compositions, one of them a co-write with Jeff Talmadge. These are super rare tracks that have been leaked out here and there over the years and now finally see the light of day....
