Hmmm...which one to buy first?

[ricky Jay]

Well, I'm at school today and the music store is just off campus...I have only enough money to get one Lightfoot album. My other 3 albums I have I listened WAYY too much to and I think that I need a change FAST LOL. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Anyway, unfortunately I am going to have to order Don Quixote and Cold on the Shoulder, but I think that the store contained some of his albums anyway like:

If You Could Read My Mind
Shadows
Salute
East of Midnight
some greatest hits collection
Summertime Dream (already have)
Sundown (already have)
Old Dan's Records (already have)

I don't want to get Salute or East of Midnight (not yet, anyway), and I'm not the biggest fan of greatest hits collections (I prefer buying individual albums). Right now, I'm torn between Shadows and IYCRMM. For some reason though I am leaning toward Shadows although I do make it a future plan to look into IYCRMM. It's just that at this moment I like the sound clips of Shadows better, but it doesn't mean I won't like IYCRMM less.

So...go for Shadows or IYCRMM first? (Disclaimer: I don't care which one has more "hits." That is not my priority)

However, if the store has Dream Street Rose, I might get THAT one over both of those 2 for the time being.

I like Shadows better than IYCRMM but, I also like the greatest hits selections they have songs from various years not only the most commercials sucesses.
Or you might want to save your money for the new one coming out in May.

Thanks Brink...well, I kind of consider myself a collector when I start liking an artist's work, I start wanting to have their whole collection, so even if I did get Shadows I still might want to get the one coming in May, you know what I mean?

Anyway, I am trying to get the albums in which his voice still has that "sound" to it before it starts to change, that's why.

[mtheeb]

In my opinion, SHADOWS has eight truly great tracks, DREAM STREET has six, and IYCRMM has four. So based on that...

Hi Restless...well, it turns out the store DID have DSR. I got that one today, but it was BEFORE you replied to me with this info! I like a lot of it but I gotta listen to it again to formulate a better opinion. It seems promising though! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

But Shadows is next, I promise LOL http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Great Shazia How we all envy you who has so much great music yet to be savoured
You said you wanted him before his voice changed.In my book that is more than enough justification to immediately acquire the first five "United Artists" albums.
That way you start with the first 5 of his 19 original albums (soon to be 20 of course)
I used to think this was best done by buying the handsome Canadian-issue black three CD box set "Original Lightfoot"

http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/original-front.jpg
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/original-back.jpg
of which there seems to be an inexhaustable supply being offerred on ebay currently item:- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4002334083&category=307
has a "buy it now" fixed price of only US$24.93 plus $5.99 shipping
Alternatively on sale at Amazon is the equivalent US 2-CD "United Artists collection" set
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000DQO2.01._PE8_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg
which covers just the first 4 U.A.albums
you can then add Eitherthe basic GL Live CD
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002UGI.01._PE_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg
This fabulous album was the only official (non-bootleg) live recording until the 2000 Reno concert for a PBS special and its
subsequent issue as a video in both VHS and DVD formats another "must-have" item
Or the German Bear Family issue of the same Sunday Concert but with 5 Bonus tracks added
I have just received that CD as a birthday present:-
this is a scan of the back cover so you can readily see the track listing
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/sunday_concert_plus_back.jpg
If you shop around you can also on the Bear family label get the first four albums as a pair of cds each containing two complete albums:-
http://www.bear-family.de/images/bcd15576.jpg
http://www.bear-family.de/images/bcd15699.jpg
http://www.bear-family.de/images/bcd15691.jpg
The two "Plus" CDs also sport very worthwhile booklets indeed the Sunday Concert plus booklet includes all the text and photos that were a feature of the original gatefold LP sleeve.
There is a German Bear Family home page in English at:- http://www.bear-family.de/index_english.htm
click on artist listing "L" all 3 cds are listed with track lists and reviews
Note rather quaintly the English and German reviews are all in a single paragraph
Also note that the two different (Nashville/New York) versions of the very first of Gord's songs that I myself ever heard "Spin Spin" are included as "bonuses"
I have taken some trouble to research this response because this matter has been regularly cropping up recently due to a number of posters building up their collections and I feel very strongly that these 5 albums which were such a solid foundation for the success that followed with IYCRMM in 1971 are a must to really appreciate all that Gordon has to offer
In addition Shazia I think you were earlier advised to get the simply magnificant box set "songbook" which is so much more than a "greatest hits" package,especially the brilliant booklet
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000J63I.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/songbook.jpg
This has some 72 remastered tracks from previously issued albums plus a great collection of 16 new tracks many of which are
so good that it is amazing to realise that they were outtakes from earlier albums.
I hope this gives you a little food for thought

whoa whoa WHOA JohnFowles you did a TREMENDOUS job researching this. OMG you did such a great job helping me out that it isn't even funny. You seem like a wizard on Lightfoot.

Even better,get it with the original,"Sit Down Young Stranger" title cover,like I did! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Borderstone,gonna post some lines tonight!:D

[Cathy]

By the way, Shazia, Songbook doesn't come with all those autographs, just in case you were wondering.

I agree with John, though. You should start out with his United Artist material, then buy the Warner Brothers/Reprise stuff. If you are anything like the rest of us, you'll have all of them and then some within a year.

East Of Midnight is an awesome album, I used to listen to that even more after I got Songbook. It sat in my collection for almost 2 years because of the adult contemporary sound. Then I took a second listen and its probably one of my favorite of GL's albums, much more then Shadows.

I said in another topic of new collector Sheryl's that when I had time I would search for another old topic regarding the first 5 United Artists albums and their acquisition

OK It took an inordinate amount of searching that proved fruitless until I remembered that I had created a detailed display illustrating the various ways to acquire those albums for then new collector Shazia so I am now resurrecting the topic for Sheryl's benefit

[Jennifer]

My own collection has expanded from the 3 CD's I owned when I first logged onto corfid about 2 months ago. I now own...

- Greatest Hits
- Gords Gold
- Don Q
- Dream Street Rose
- Cold on the Shoulder
- Sundown
- UA Collection (2-disc set)

I'd like to get the Songbook set next but maybe I'll just wait to put that on my x-mas list.

So many choices. :rolleyes: ;)

[Jesse Joe]

Anything Gordon Lightfoot, will make an excellent Christmas gift, Jennifer. I myself have them all on Cd's. Aren't I lucky? :D :rolleyes: :)

Yes, you're lucky indeed JJ; but at the same time I dread the day I buy the last CD to complete my collection. I'm afraid it would be like finishing a good book that I don't want to end. :( If and when that happens, I guess I will just have to start from the beginning again :)

But tell me, what would you get next if you were me?? :D

Yes Jennifer I do know what you mean but, having that prize possesion, of owning them all, is a wonderful feeling.

I can listen to 1969 Lightfoot or 2004, whenever I feel like it. Plus everytime I go to my fav music store, I always go check the Lightfoot Cd's. Sometimes there may be a new one, from the UK or somewhere's else.

Not new to the sense of new songs, but best of, Classic Lightfoot recordings. I do have all the songs but buy them anyway to add to the collection.

And then there's always good great bootlegs roaming around. If your lucky enough to get those. They make you feel like you bought a new Lightfoot concert CD. It's recorded live, Gord may tell a story before introducing the next track. Always interesting.

Then there's the DVD's, the VHS, old interview, etc. And other artists covering his material. It never ends.

Look at Elvis Presley's fan, there still things to buy about him, 29 years after he's gone.

My suggestion to you if you want the older ones, get "Sunday Concert Plus", or "Back Here On Earth"

"Sunday Concert Plus" comes from the UK {GERMANY} if Im not mistaken, it is a little more expensive, but you get The plus. A Bob Dylan track, "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues." Gord 's own "Spin Spin", Movin, a real 60's song, and I'll Be Alright.

Enjoy Jennifer.. Cheers...Jesse. :) :eek:

J-J Jennifer already has the US 2-CD set which includes BHOE but not the essential and breathtaking live Sunday Concert, but you are correct it is well worth paying the extra for the German "Plus" import. you get not one but two versions of "Movin" from CNR(ailways) promo film, Neither of which are likely to feature in anybody's favourite GL recordings list; his interesting cover of Dylans Tom Thumb's Blues; a different take of the great I'll Be Allright that I don't think I have ever worked out how it differs from the issued The way I Feel album version but most importantly probably the better of the two versions of the song that got me hooked in 1965/66 the sadly neglected and superb "Spin Spin" it is so good that my wife used to use the lines
"In the web of wild desire
And I cannot control the fire"
as her signature
and I proposed to call my planned commercial web design company:-
"Spin Spin Web Designs" cool eh?
Of course amongst the concert songs is the otherwise unobtainable and fantastic "Apology"

Jennifer, I highly reccomend the next album you purchase be Summer Side Of Life. When I first bought it I knew of only two tracks-SSOL and Cotton Jenny. It has quickly become one of my most treasured albums with such songs as Miguel, Talking In Your Sleep, and one of my all-time fav's Cabaret. You won't be dissappointed!
-Matt

[Jennifer]

Ha ha ha! Cute hedgehog...

JJ - no need to apologize... Cheers back at ya! :)

Sunday Concert sure sounds nice, especially when John so temptingly describes it as essential and breathtaking. Summer Side of Life is on my "to get" list for sure too.

Thanks for all these great suggestions!

When I browse through the bin at the music store I always see many Lightfoot Tribute CD's, often more than there are actual Lightfoot CD's, but are any of them worth buying? I haven't heard any mentioned here. Right now I'm not really interested in hearing anyone do Lightfoot but Lightfoot himself, but I am just curious if anyone has purchased the tributes.

Jen

[Yuri]

'Summer Side Of Life' is my favorite and therefore my suggestion for the next album to buy. Not a bad song on it, but then again, Gord doesn't write bad songs!
You can't go wrong with it or any album on your list.
Have fun!

"Summer Side of Life" is definately a good one. It has a certain summertime sound to it. It's very upbeat, the kind you select on your way to the beach or the mountains. The only difficulty would be selecting beach or mountains. Today I'll take the high ground.

Jennifer, we all have our favorite tributes, mine being the Toni Rice CD and the Lightfoot tribute album that came out a couple of years ago, with Cowboy Junkies, Ron Sexsmith, Burce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Terry Tufts, Aengus Finnan and a bunch of other Canadian artists.

So many choices. :rolleyes: ;) Did I really say I was going to wait until Xmas to get Songbook? :eek: Ah well, I fibbed.

Sheee-yit I ain't waiting until X-mas. I ordered it today. :D

Peace,
