Are there any rarities on the box set that aren't on any other albums?

[bjm7777]

There are 16 previously unreleased songs and two really rare ones.

To think that I paid close to $100.00 with taxes for mine when it came out. :(

Right on Peter

anazingly there are still no bids possibly because it is listed as merely "Gordon Lightfoot CD"
the auction is at
http://cgi.ebay.com/GORDON-LIGHTFOOT-CD-/230510140520?pt=Music_CDs
But first come first served
and now only two days left to bid
surely not everybody here has a copy??
Or get a spare copy or present it to a friend
With shipping it might only cost $11.00 a real bargain
BUT don't all bid at once or you'll drive the price up!

I see that the boxset went for a most reasonable $22.50.:rolleyes:
I had toyed with the idea of trying to win it myelf by sniping and had actually installed a freeware program (called jbidwatcher) but had not yet worked out how to use it. By that time there was a single bid in so the price was at least $8. If I had tried sniping I would have gone to about $20.00 the winner who you cannot nowadays identify put in his/her winning bid 14 seconds before the auction ended. Obviously won by using a sniping program.
I do hope that the winner was a corfiddler de dee da dum.:clap:

Now why didn't I think of bringing that last time?

Hey Jess,I know how you feel. I didn't spend as much as you but for me it was a lot of money.
Imagine having a job where you only make $7.00 an hour + tip/grat. and paying (after sales tax) nearly $63 for that box set.

I know I posted iot elsewhere sometime ago but I paid on installments at Sam Goody's until I picked it up on Aug. 7th,2001.
Hey! :) That's *gulp* 9 years & almost two weeks ago! YIPE!!!!


As someone whose bought off Ebay and another musci related site called Musicstack,beware,the cheaper you go,the lesser the quality.
