Hi folks! Just got in (the library) from record hunting. I took the bus about 3 or 4 miles west to a store I frequently visit called Karma. I wasn't really hunting for any GL but I did put on hold a copy of "The Very Best Of GL". It has a pastellish animated cover and was released in 1975. I bought other LP's today and wanted to take Gord's with me but it cost more than the other 3 and so I decided to wait on it. Also,just so waiting for the bus and traveling wouldn't be a drag,I took discs 2-3 and 4 from Songbook with me. I'd have taken 1 also but I've been listening to the UA collection quite a lot since I got it. Which leads me to Bill W's statement about going back to '66 and before if one were to begin to take an intrest in Gordon's music. Personally,if I were just starting to hear about GL and wanted to know more,I'd jump in head first and get Songbook. Which except for GG1,Sundown,COTS,Summertime Dream, Endless Wire and IYCRMM,is exactly what I did. To each his own though.

It's been me and I'll catch ya on the flipside of Sundown!
