Ok, 2M2L, after reading your post, I reviewed the albums, looking for the sides that I would consider perfect, which I defined to mean a side on which I found every song completely wonderful. This resulted in the exclusion of some of my favorites, such as side2 2 of IYCRMM because of Your Love's Return and side 1 of Summer Side of Life because of Cotton Jenny. For me, those 2 songs are good but not great.
Anyway, herewith my "perfect" sides: side 2 of Lightfoot!; side 2 of Summer Side of Life; side 1 of Don Quixote; and side 2 of Sundown.
Florian, 2 things--this is a great site and Baby It's Alright has been left the list of songs on that album list (under IYCRMM).
I guess I love SS of L. I once read a review that suggested that Lenny Waronker over-produced it--critics! What do they know!
Last note as I get further afield from the subject--I long to hear Old Dan's Records again! My turntable is long gone and I need to hear Mother of a Miner's Child, Hiway Songs, Farewell to Annabelle, It's Worth Believin', Can't
Depend on Love and all the others.
Second last note farther afield: by golly, Ithink that Gord is coming to my adopted home town of Austin since 1978 next March to play at the Paramount Theater, which is a lovely venue. Let it be true!
