Have always thought thought that Gord was in "best voice" on the Shadows album. The entire album is recorded in a warm, very analog way. Quite a difference from the digitally recorded DSR. Yes, there's tape hiss evident on Shadows that's absent from DSR, but that's small potatoes. When I first put Salute on my turntable in 1983 I was shocked by the loss of the lower register I heard just one album before....Shadows. Yeah, he stopped drinking and lost, what, 30 pounds, but when does that change your voice so much. Very strange....
