Maybe that was part of why Gord (and Dean Parks) decided to go with a more "mainstream" sound on SALUTE... which actually worked for me - SALUTE actually grabbed me from the first time I heard it, unlike the "slow burn" that many other GL albums had to go through before I learned to like/love them.
I've probably said it before, but I actually prefer SALUTE slightly over SHADOWS. Not that
either of them is bad...!
It's been years now since we Lightheads were lamenting the "final four" albums not having ever being released on CD (ODR, DSR, SALUTE, SHADOWS) and now... such complaints have come around again, although I don't know how many titles it is currently. At least they did bother to do (a pretty decent) job of digital remastering those records when they did come out.
