Gord Fan,
These albums should be no surprise to you or any ardent fan, but for some reason they escaped my attention recently, since Harmony. Perhaps one or the other I'll mention here came out B4 Harmony; not sure. Hope this helps you assess the completeness in any event of your collection, as it did mine when they came to my attention.
A. High Five ! - His 5 biggest-selling 70's hits, I think:
- Going to buy it myself as Christmas Sampler Stocking Stuffers to my friends with short attention spans...lol.. good songs !
While of course I could burn a better "Baker's Dozen of Gord's Best of Breed"
- as a gift, somehow, the actual packaging of the no-jewel-case ala 3-New Eagles songs that came attached in a carboard sleeve to Hell Freezes Over CD, High5! seems more tasteful to give than a 'Here I burned these' - to a Newby ONLY....but make no mistake...to the existing fan.. we all know how great it is to be overwhelmingly gifted with home-burned Rarities and Hard-to-finds, as in da88 near immposible ! I've been blown away a few times that way, and the Last thing on my mind was the "hey this is home burned" lol yee-haw !
B: A newer live album I did not know existed as am authorized studio release; I am at a loss as right now I can neither remember the name of it nor the year (its on the last 6 years) nor can I remember when it came out, or where/when it was recorded Live ! duhhhh - will research Amazon etc. I was surprised, and I pride myself on knowing every studio and authorized release of Gord's ever made !
One hint; its NOT the 2002 (?) Live at Reno DVD - which by coincidence I must replace myself now after moving - the black hole of belongings that occurs when you move into and out of the same boxes; things dissappear like sock(x) from the washer ! - Oh - and I was surprised and pleased to see an
audio-only release of Reno Live NOTE:
If I am Remembering Correctly.
And for the the techno-hip on disc technology: A Q - can you not play a DVD in the CD Player , eg making the Audio-only of Reno superfluous for the penny-pinching Scotsman like me ?
I hope sincerely I have remembered these two right for you, Gord Fan, as I KNOW the excitement...every new album....I count the years.....re-calculate the probability of a release in any given year each year...and when I see it, I about pee my pants ! Good luck
lol....
Note: If you are reading this for the second time in disbelief over the first gaff...lol... I saw I had lef t in 5 Everybody Knows and has albums that I pasted accidently from another thread that is up -
my favourite 5 albums -
I should have named it "Gord's alleged Broad-Brimmed Period BBP"- that's what a very sharp and witty, complimentary Rolling Stone reviewer said of the ODR - Cold On the Shoulder + GGI 'period' ! I sorta hear what he means.... sorry those 5 and reference to got stuck in this A or B, not 5 + A or B post...oooOOPS ! If anyone reads THIS,
maybe try checking out the 5 albums thread, cause one more noteworthy set of comments, relatively speaking to old blabberty of mine, asre some new attempts at interpretation of COTS - incuding notably 'The Soul is the Rock'
Thanks, and sorry for the gaff for readers of this previously before edit !
