As long as we're piling on here, I'll make another point:

I think it is safe to say that most of Lightfoot's fans are in the over-40 age group. Most of his fans have numerous albums and I'll bet most of the people that participate in this forum have "Songbook".

I just don't see where another "Greatest Hits" package is going to attract that many people. I was never a big Billy Joel fan, but I just bought his boxed set. It was probably better than a "greatest hits" package. Rhino Records is not particularly worried that buyers may lose interest in the "Final Four", as the response and demand in this forum has been pretty clear.

I'd love to see the sales figures for "Greatest Hits" after one year of sales.
