Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - Sunday Concert and the United Artists albums

My copy duly arrived today
It cost somewhat less at CD Universe $8.39 plus $2.99 for the first class post (amazon's price is now $11.98 plus S/H. And the snail only had to crawl the relatively short distance from CD Universe in Wallingford Connecticut to me in New Jersey. I checked and neither CD Universe nor Amazon have yet added a picture to their site's listing and the Capitol site is still ignorant.But a further search showed that Sam's crew at Walmart are on their toes already.There is a good scan of the front insert at:- http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/72/43/58...32_500X500.jpg
The back is a simple plain black design featuring the song list plus an old pic of Gord sideways on near a microphone.
But the female of the species here will I think want this CD for their collection for the tasty pic on the back insert's reverse (under the CD) of Gord wearing brown boots and holding out a brown suede (?) jacket whilst clinging to a road sign post possibly on Yonge Street, or somewhere else in Toronto
The fold out front insert has a "standard" bio by Joseph F. Laredo which mentions all 5 UA albums and apropos my earlier comments ends by saying
"Sunday Concert was the first Lightfoot release to climb onto Billboard's album charts a harbinger of things to come. He would go on to other labels and greater commercial success in the years that followed, but it was the consistent excellence of the early work featured here that set him on the road to stardom"
just what we have been telling you!!!
Finally I confirm that I have no interest in or connection with any of the 3 retailers mentioned above
