I have recently as per the current US television and web page advertising put it been victorious in a pair of GL items auctions
that caught my eye
9 Gordon Lightfoot LP Records /w Audio CD Backups
The first has just arrived; a nice collection of nine assorted vinyl albums AND what on first sample listening reveals a very good matching set of nine CDs ripped from the vinyl.All for a mere $9.99 ( I was the only bidder plus $6.00 shipping
the seller is obviously a skilled audiophile and in view of the other recent thread on making CDs from vinyl his explanation as pasted into his auction blurb is well worth reading part of it says:-
"The albums are recorded using a program called Wave Corrector which records the wav file from the LP. After recording, Wave Corrector will count the amount of clicks (noise from the record) and save a new wav file (minus the clicks), which can then be burned onto an Audio CD. The CD created sounds exactly like you're listening to an LP without the noise. LP's to me sound better than CD's or tapes for some reason. They seem to have more depth like you are listening to a live show. The Audio CD's created retain this depth, they sound awesome."
just go to

As far as the LPs go I noted that the Sunday Concert whilst superficially the same as my original 1969 purchased Canadian issue is on Liberty but has no gatefold and states that it is "abridged from the original". yet it appears to have the full set of 10 tracks.
And the other win??
CANADIAN TALENT LIBRARY LP GORDON LIGHTFOOT 1982
I have long been curious to get my hands and eyes on a copy of the Canadian Talent Library LP
I wont the one on
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=010

for 50 cents less shipping than the LPs
dang having just looked closely at that picture I realise that the seller was disingenious and not being truthful when he said
"You are bidding on a Canadian Talent Library LP featuring Gordon Lightfoot."
as it is evidently the not exactly scintillating John Arpin piano instrumental versions that I already have on a different record label.Oh well you win some you lose some!!
