No nothing new all the myriad United Artists' "regurgitations" take a number of tracks from the original total of 60 tracks on the five UA albums in a random manner.
Do the math which I've forgotten long ago but 15 tracks from 60 gives I'd wager a huge number of possible combinations.
in the above three cases
1.the"smokey" black one has these tracks per:-

SIDE 1

4-Home from the Forest
5-If I Could
SIDE 2
6-Something Very Special
7-Long Way Back Home
8-Affair on 8th Avenue

4. Home From The Forest
5. Mountain And Marion
6. Rosanna
7. Bitter Green
8. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
9. If You Got It
10. Rich Man's Spiritual
To break the monotony
3.the UK only EMR "painting" issue had per:-

7.THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
8.WHEREFOR AND WHY
9.PUSSY WILLOW,CAT TAILS

quite why that compilation had only "over 60 minutes" worth when even the earliest CDs held
65 minutes is beyond me

I have taken the trouble of researching this as part of another project that I am working on
and also to show the broad truth behind the ranting of Bill Van Dyk
at:-
http://www.chromehorse.net/rants/rants98/lightfoot.htm
who averred:-
"Gordon Lightfoot made a career by not issuing any albums whatsoever except for Greatest Hits Collections. It's true. His
first album, released in 1966, was called "Gord's Greatest Hits". Nobody knew who Gord was. He had no previous recordings
of original material. But since he had a greatest hits album, and went by his first name, we all figured he must be
important and we added him to the collection"

and another nice EMR photograph
and of interest amongst many interesting results of a google image search for EMR is
