Good morning all, I spent the day in Toronto yesterday with my girlfriend and one of my rituals is stopping in at Sam The Record Man ( that store has EVERYTHING! lol)
Anyway didn't spend too much time in there but I finally snagged Salute and Shadows on CD
These two CD's have been out a couple of years and my local stores seem kind of pathetic when it comes to Lightfoot material, so I gladly shelled out $30 for these two items.
As a side note I also stopped in at HMV Toronto on Yonge Street and they have lots of his CD's in the store including a couple of rare ones from England!
My next stop was a place called Vortex Records and collectibles on Queen St, they are almost near CITY TV..... this store has Vinyl LP's and 45's out the wazoo... so I checked their Canadian section, sure enough they had about 20 different 45's of Lightfoot including one pristine issue of The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald, took me all of 2 seconds before deciding to buy it!
I will take a picture of it and post it later
As well as the usual radio hits, I was stunned to find he had all these other songs that were issued as 45's.... Morning Glory for one and Salute was the other one.
