Later still in 1993 a UK company (BGO) Beat Goes On Records, as part of the world wide conspiracy to flood the market with as many reissues and mixes of the five United Artists albums as possible, issued a couple of CDs
one pairing DSMMN and BHOE the other is the one you have
(and because Lightfoot! most recently had its UK issue as "Early Lightfoot" that is the album cover BGO decided to feature on its double album CD

for a picture and track list as you have already posted


This is therefore an entirely different "Early Lightfoot" as referenced in the Songbook track list which certainly cites AME #7000 (1971) as the source of both "(Remember Me) I'm the One" and "It's Too Late He Wins"
The story is relatively well known that Gord disapproved of this attempt to cash in on his new fame after IYCRMM became the surprise hit. So he and then general factotum Richard Harison set to work with an axe

this composite that I saved from one of many ebay auctions reveals all


A look at the above suggested that AME is an acronym for American Metropolitan Enterprises Ltd and a suitable google revealed

When I go back to some of those old posts, some of the posts do not match the poster. Does this happen to anyone else. I brought up the one John referenced and it has duplicate posts all the way down, with a different poster on each.
