If you guys are talking about GG on vinyl,just go to your nearest oldies record store,the usually have dozens or at least a handful. Oh,by the way,John Fowles...how did you divide up my paragraph like that? I've never seen anyone do that. Keen! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif My last entry in the rarities,"May I". An almost nursery rhyme type song from Gordon! I almost expected him to sing out,"Nyah-nyah,na-nyah-nyah!" Not sure if I'll use that on my tapes! (Almost done with #4 by the way!) http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Over the last few weeks while writing up my thesis, I had the opportunity to listen to Gords albums back the front and came across some songs which haven't eally been talked about, but I think are better than some of his well known stuff. These include: If I could: I don't see why this doesn't rate among FLM, EMR, DSMMN and those other popular songs from the UA days. That little bass riff b/t verses and the tune - a true masterpiece! Cabaret: Never liked this at first, but coming back it now - woo-hoo!. The slow part doesn't do much, but the faster part is just magic. Does anyone know what the idea of that crack and Gord clearing his throat is supposed to to mean?. Another hidden gem. Farewell annabel: haunting little ditty that I never tire of. It's just so perfect, but no one talks about it. Salute & Broken Dreams: best songs are first and last on this album, but they don't get much public fanfare I'd rather press on: Hidden towards the end of WFY, but no one talks about it There's my $0.56. Any other ideas???? The crack is the pull tabs off old beers cans. you can also hear it tear away...then the few chugs and a swallow. I asked Gord about this about 10 years ago and he said it was a Carling Black Label Beer that he was drinking in the studio. Yeah the song is good too. |

Bill, thanks for the info. I checked out the Amazon site...the $3.99 price was for a cassette tape, but I am assuming that the other albums listed are cd's. It seems as if you buy from someone else...not Amazon itself! I just don't know how to work all of this "buying online stuff"...it frustrates me because I know there are good deals out there...I just am afraid to buy things online! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif I don't know how and my hubby isn't into it either. Thankfully I have a friend that will ebay for me...maybe she buys stuff from Amazon, too, I'll ask her. I think the prices were really good...$12.99 for a cd...looks like it's new, too. I didn't realize that GG was out of print!!! I know one thing...most of GL music must be online, because I'm not finding it in stores!!! Not the cd's that I want, anyway! Not even at Border's. Oma, as far as the Market Place stores at Amazon, I have purchased from them on numerous occasions. They contract, so to speak, with Amazon and that forces them to maintain certain standards as far as how they conduct their business. As I said, I have had no problems buying from them in the past, so I wouldn't be too concerned if you see something there that you want to purchase. |
'Lifeline' and 'Keepin On Yearnin' are masterpieces to me.
