Gord's Gold VINYL re-issue-August 26,2014

John Sakamoto:
THE VINYL COUNTDOWN: "Each of the past two Record Store Days has seen a Gordon Lightfoot album reissued on vinyl. This year it was a 180-gram pressing of Sundown; last year it was Sit Down Young Stranger.
This month, his double-platinum compilation, Gord’s Gold, joins that select group. Released through the boutique reissue label Friday Music, the 1975 hits package has been mastered for this release from the original Reprise tapes. It arrives Aug. 26.
As welcome as that news is, isn’t it about time someone combined the two volumes of Gord’s Gold and replaced the re-recorded selections with the originals? The first one, after all, doesn’t even include “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”
