Let's not also forget what Gord's behavior was at that time. He was drinking very heavily and maybe Warner hesitated to put alot of effort into publicity without knowing where the drink would take him. Fair after all his successful albums? No, but that's the cold hard business of promoting music. Gord himself said at a concert while introducing a song from the East of Midnight album that he thought the album was one of his best, but that the record company (Warner) had already written him off as a hopeless alcoholic. So along with that and the money grubbing attitude of the 80's I am afraid Gord lost any chance with Warner to re-group after Dream Street Rose, an album which I happen to enjoy. It came out at a good time in my life and brings back those memories whenever I hear a song from it.
It will be interesting to see which record label steps up to the plate(or comes begging to his door) when he's ready to release this new cd.
