Well,in terms of seeing "new" Lightfoot album for the first time,it wasn't the grand story some have here.
First completley brand new Lightfoot I ever saw was "Salute" in 1983.
It was at a local (now long gone) record store called Rolling Stone. I was 14/15, and as always,going through the bins. I got to L and there it was.
I thought this when I saw the picture,"That's the dude who sings Sundown?" (I'd never seen his face until then.) I was not impressed being a teen of course and went on to Men At Work.
3 years later I heard "Anything For Love" on a lte rock station and kind of liked it but I didn't think to look fo an LP at all. It wasn't until a trip to a garage sale in 1988 that I found and bought (used) Gord's Gold.
The rest is a story I've told several times,so I wont repeat.
