Mystery fully solved

Well All Right
It now appears that my old eyes were not in fact deceiving me at Northampton after all
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Wayne Francis' site now sported a pair of rather small images depicting revised artwork for both Gord's Gold CDs
Wayne says both are Rhino reissues his images are:-
GG1:

GG2:-

At the time I did a thorough search
and only found one online store showing the new cover
see Barnes and Noble below
Now today whilst a'googling for something else I found that
cduniverse is now showing a slightly larger image of the reissued GG1 cover:-

but as I found two weeks ago there is absolutely no mention of either album (original or reissued) at Rhino:-
http://www.rhino.com
or at Warners:-
http://www.warnerbrosrecords.com/
whose "find artist" search box at:-
http://www.warnerbrosrecords.com/find.php
still inexplicably omits GL altogether
Tower records shows GG1 on Reprise with the original CD picture but GG2 on warner with no picture
Barnes and Noble
I found today now show the original covers for both the GG1 and GG2 but add
(GG1)
ALBUM DETAILS:

Release Date: Oct 4 2005
Original Release Date: 1975
Total Running time: 1:10:43
Label: RHINO / WEA
And the corresponding entry today for GG2 says:-
ALBUM DETAILS:

Release Date: Oct 25 1990
Original Release Date: 1988
Total Running time: 1:04:38
Label: WARNER BROS / WEA
Catalog No.: 25784
UPC: 75992578424

but the GG2 picture two weeks ago was the revised cover:-

their listings then continued:-
(GG2)
ALBUM DETAILS:

Release Date: Mar 15 2005
Label: RHINO / WEA
Just for those who are curious or collectors of trivia etc
