"Microsoft's new music service is in preview mode. This service is
designed to compete with Apple iTunes and the main difference between
the two services is that Microsoft's service is web-based whereas
iTunes requires a separate download. I still prefer iTunes, but noticed
that when you conduct a search on Music Service, sponsored links appear
which are related in some way to the search term (just like on Google).

I did a search on Lightfoot's catalog and came up with the following
page, including the sponsored links.

http://beta.music.msn.com/search/all/?ss=gordon+lightfoot"
If you click on that link then on
"View All Gordon Lightfoot Albums"
the following should appear

Note the lack of enthousiasm (so far) for the Beautiful tribute album!!
It lists 16 albums including WFY but inexplicably not Harmony but you can download WFY as a complete album for only $8.91
or 99 cents for each of the 10 tracks
check out the "customer service" link at the bottom of the page for guidance with what to do with your downloads: However I would thatassume you get good quality mp3s that can then be burned into a pukka audio CD (providing you have a CD burner of course and suitable software
example Nero Burning/Express makes great CDs from mp3s. (I have found that CD quality mp3s i.e. encoded at 128 KBPS work superbly

Thank you John for trying to help me to find the CD. I'm sure that I will succeed in getting it one of these days.
