I Have Got It!

I have just come back from Tower records and I now have my copy of "Classic Masters"! Official purchase time 4:38pm AZ time. I got a little worried when they said they couldn't locate it!

Mercifully,after several minutes of searching,they found it! It was $12.99 + $1.05 tax for a grand total of $14.04. As mentioned it is on EMI-Capitol and for when you go to buy it,the cover is GL's picture circa 1969/70 in a very strangely hued B & W with sort of an apple green background. The 12 songs:E.M. Rain/Ribbon O.D./The Way I Feel ('66 version)/I'm Not Sayin'/For Lovin' Me/C.RR.Tril./Black Day I.J./The First Time E.I.S.Y.F./Bitter Green/If I Could/Leaves O.G. live/and The Lost Children. The liner notes tell us pretty much what we already know about him. The 1st paragraph is worth a read (I don't have time to do it here). Under the CD itself is a 1960's color picture of Gord himself! Only 4 days? Pretty cool! This is without a doubt the earliest I have ever bought a new release by a new artist except for Mariah Carey's "Rainbow",which I bought the very day it came out on Nov. 3rd,1999. As an added bonus to my trip,the store also has all 4 of the "Final Four" released on CD last year! Mine! All Mine!

(When I get the $$$!

It's been the B! Headin' home to play my new CD!

Catch ya on the flipside of Sundown!
