If you,are seated at your computer TT then why not "try ebay first"
my mantra whenever I want to buy something from printer inks to media cards etc
At this very moment if you really want CDs of Gord's superb early work (the 5 United Artists albums) you have a choice of the
4 LP set the United Artists collection
http://i11.ebayimg.com/01/c/05/a8/80/62_7.JPG
for only $9.98 (Buy it now_) at:-
http://cgi.ebay.com/GORDON-LIGHTFOOT...1%7C240%3A1318
Or better still
the complete 5 LP set
because you simply must get Sunday Concert the best live album by any artist by a mile (or a kilometre)
The Original United Artists
http://i11.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/14/0f/3199_1.JPG
Starting bid only $3.99 at:-

(both plus shipping of course)
But my best advice is to splurge on Sunday Concert Plus if you can it has 5 bonus tracks including the incomparable hit Spin Spin
There is one available for the buy it now price of $20.02 at:-
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sunday-Concert-P...1%7C240%3A1318

Re: Sentiments expressed on this site

to be perfectly honest, Sir John, I don't trust eBay. At least through Barnes & Noble, while it is a bit more expensive & takes a bit more time to get, they will have them mailed to my house, since I'm going to pre-pay for them.

Thanks, Sir John. Very well said.

I kept wanting to poke in here and tell everyone to stop responding because it looks like a case of hit and run by the original poster but I like a lot of what came out of it.

As far as Americans/Candians, several years ago we were up in Simcoe, ON and got hit with the quiz of what do you as an American know about Canada. I did OK, being able to name provinces, capitals and one or two politicians but it was quite an eye opener to find how much more Canadians knew of our land to the south than we did of those to the north.

All too true Fez. You'd be horrified to learn just how little Americans know about their own country. I should know, as every time I turn around I'm learning something new practically everyday.
