My dad used to have every Lightfoot album ever made on vinyl. He used to keep them downstairs in the closet and I thought they were the coolest things ever. Unfortunately, about 9 years ago he got rid of his turntable and brought all the Lightfoot albums to a record store, but the man didn't want them!! (Could you believe that??)So my dad ended up throwing them all away.
So 3 years ago, we finally got a beautiful Pioneer turntable (which currently resides in my bedroom)at the thrift store for about $5.00. Realizing his mistake 6 years before, my dad went on a mission, to recollect every Lightfoot Lightfoot album once Again (With my help, of course). We started in late 2001 and finished in August 2004. They were purchased from both Ebay and Record Theatre (A local music store chan that has Lightfoot LPs from $.99-$2.00). We also have plenty of extras. How about you? |

Yes, all that are vinyl. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif |
Yes all (except vinyl copies of the rare early items) and in dulicate too since I had my own collection accrued in Canadas and the UK before joining Susan here in the States and of course she also had a comlete collection now we also have two sets of the CDs (including Harmony) no cassettes though but Susan has a couple of 8 track cartridges (and a working player to boot!)
Needles to say we rarely if ever play the vinyl or the 8-tracks John Fowles I'm speaking tongue in cheek. So how can anyone understand you? |

Yah, the UA stuff is harder to find, I must admit. Especially The Way I feel and Did She Mention my Name. We didn't get those until August.
I'm not sure yet what I'm doing with the dupes, I havn't decided yet. They are: 1. Shadows 2. IYCRMM 3. Don Quixote 4. SSOL 5. The Best of Gordon lightfoot What should I do with them? [This message has been edited by DiggerBoy (edited February 11, 2005).] |

How about donating them to a library or old folks home? (Is it politically correct to say "old folks"?) No offense intended http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

yep. got them all. no turntable though. it's a sad situation.
even have both IFYCRMM and the original Sit Down Young Stranger. |
Ahh. Me too. Even had the original Nimeless LP at one time. You can find a turntable in very good condition at a thrift store (like I did) or if all fails, Radio Shack sells them.

See, nobody wanted vinyl around the time he pitched them, because everybody wanted CD's. Of course now they're's a market for them again, and now everybody wants vinyl again, including the ones they threw away. My dad is an example. He got rid of the Turntable when he had enough CD's to replace them, but now since vinyl has come back he wanted to get them back, just to have them for nostalgia.
And yes, he did have every Lightfoot album on Vinyl that was issued on vinyl. P.S of course you don't sound unkind.

Hey all! I think I posted here about a million years ago. Anyway, About 10 years ago I went on a obsessive quest to obtain all of Gords vinyl. I figured as long as I'm going all out, I might as well make sure that they're mint albums. I believe I have all except "Two Tones" and one called "Yellow Bird" (or something like that). All are mint, some weren't even opened. Of course I opened them just to play them even though I had them on CD. "Lightfoot" was one of the unopened ones which surprised me plus I also had an unopened "Sundown" made by Mobile Sound fidelity. I actually have two of those. Along with that are 33 45s.
It was a fun time hunting down all those albums but kind of a let-down when I was all through. That's my album story, I have to go take my medication now. TC |

Ok, I've decided to give the dupes to my neighbor. He's just starting (just getting in to GL, that is) so I thought he could use them.

I have (including the 1962 recorded Early Lightfoot) every LP from "Lightfoot" through
"East Of Midnight". I have yet to see a copy of GG2 on vinyl but I know they were made in 1988/89. If there's "any" vinyl's of WFY or APPT,that would amaze me to pieces! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif That would be very rare! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif ------------------ "A knight of the road,going back to a place where he might get warm." ;) - Borderstone |
Border, I just saw a GG2 LP for $7.77 on ebay with no bids. You should check it out.

Thanks for the tip Diggerboy but I only post fro ma library PC right now and have limited time for things like that. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif I guess it'll be my loss. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/mad.gif Thanks again though. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

How Poor Were You ?
I was so poor back in the day that I would only buy albums that you couldn't hear on the radio - and I liked to stay out late, etc. and that took what little money I had. And what vinyl I had got ruined in a leaking pipe incident (boring story). And then I wasn't poor any longer - but vinyl was going away so I started with CDs and that brings us to now - sorry, I'll stop - soon - I promise.

Sorry Border. I wish I had a way to send one to you if I ever saw one. Are there any record stores in your area that sells LPs? you should check there....

Oh,plenty of record stores like that all over the "valley of the sun" here. I've been to just about all of them (some are just too far)and as of yet none of them have GG2 on vinyl. I have the cassette,so it's no big rush. If I find it,that in my opinion will be when I was meant to find it.
I do know I was meant to find all the others in 2002 because after I did find them all,one of the places I found the most at went out of business! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif It was the place where I found,"Lightfoot", "DSMMy Name","Salute",a replacement copy of "Endless Wire","Old Dan's Records" and a nearly brand new looking copy of "GG 1". I'll get it when I get it. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Thank you though. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif ------------------ "A knight of the road,going back to a place where he might get warm." ;) - Borderstone |
