Now even with keeping in mind that I am not of the school of thought that puts this time frame as one of the highlights of Gord's career, here's my take - the market moved. His stuff wasn't what the market was looking for at that time so teh record company pushes less and it becomes a vicious cycle.
Indeed, he had a contract to honor and even were he not the honorable man he is the record company would have likely held him to it. He was still profitable for them.
I just think of how long John Fogarty didn't record because he was stuck in a contract he felt he couldn't honor.
