All The Facts

"... But how much of you is repetition, that you didn't whisper to him too ..."

There were two compilation releases with the title "All The Facts". One released in 2004, the other in 2009. Brian Currin was involved in both these projects.

A limited edition 3CD set was released in South Africa in 2004, marketed and distributed by Sony Music South Africa, with catalogue number CDBOX 58. Consisted of the 2002 PT Music re-issues of "Cold Fact" and "After The Fact / Coming From Reality" plus the 1998 live CD "Live Fact"

Doesn't actually say "All The Facts" on the packaging, but I remember this being the "working title" for this release, because of the album names: "Cold Fact", "After The Fact" and "Live Fact".

I put that box set out, when I was at Sony. Believe it or not. There's a story behind it with PT Music, the late Terry Fairweather and I had put it together.

A limited edition 2CD set was released in South Africa by PT Music in September 2009, which consisted of the 2005 PT Music re-issues of "Cold Fact" and "After The Fact / Coming From Reality".

Brian Currin compiled a timeline of Rodriguez events and this was printed in the booklet under the title: "A chronological history of Rodriguez: the man, the myth, the music".

Both these collections omit the studio versions of the three tracks originally released on "At His Best" in Australia in 1977. "Can't Get Away", "I'll Slip Away" and "Street Boy" have been re-issued a few times including on the Searching For Sugar Man soundtrack in July 2012.


Two other similar collections have also been released. One in Spain and one in France. Both these collections include the three tracks originally released on "At His Best" in Australia in 1977. They are featured as bonus tracks on the Coming From Reality disc.
