One more kick at the settling dust: My vote is for Gord's reasonable comments, and against the over-reaction of Val. The new greatest hits package is pretty much useless. I'd much rather see the Final Four released in April; another set of greatest hits (which aren't necessarily Lightfoot's greatest songs), remastered or not, could've been delayed indefinitely, as far as I'm concerned. I'd prefer a tribute album (various artists interpreting Lightfoot songs) or a collection of alternate takes; such would be FAR more interesting. The more I think of it, ALTERNATE TAKES WOULD BE A TERRIFIC ALBUM. Good gosh...whomever is making these (release) decisions doesn't seem to be a fan of music, or interested in the creative process, or a person with any imagination. Someone please tell me why I'm wrong!
