About the "full" sound. I've always thought Shadows was one of the finest analog recordings I've ever heard. I believe it was recorded at the same studios as Sundown, COTS, and others, but I wonder if new equipment, for the time, had been installed. Plus, I think Gord's voice was at its peak at that time. Just a year later, in '83 he had lost much of the lower register on Salute. Interesting how stopping drinking and losing what, 25 pounds, had that effect on his voice.
