Some CDs iTunes No Longer Carries:
Gord's Gold
Old Dan's Records - Partial Album - Title Track, It's Worth Believin
Dream Street Rose - Partial Album - Ghosts Of Cape Horn
Complete Greatest Hits - No EMI recordings
Songbook - No rarities, GGVI & II recordings are however in place of original recordings.
That being said, I don't know if it is the law of supply and demand, or if the TPTB find Gord and his audience/generation to be 'dinosaurs'. But whatever the case it seems like the TPTB are looking for an opportunity to obliterate Gord's catalogue from the consumer menu. If we want any chance of TPTB changing their minds and re-issue or re-release CD versions of his albums for the future perspective purchaser, then we will have to take action.
