I searched a bit and found a couple of threads about the GORD'S GOLD version of Affair on 8th Avenue, but nothing recent, so I thought I'd start up a new thread. Not so much as a discussion of the song, (for me, it's good but not one of GL's best) - but becuase I totally forgot about my desire to re-transfer the LP version to my computer after I got my nice new professional turntable for Christmas. A while back I temporarily posted a link to download my recent re-transfer of the 45 version of Bitter Green, and I thought I'd do the same now with Affair on 8th Avenue. Again, like on Bitter Green, if it was or even had been available as a commercial digital release I'd not be posting it. But for songs like this that have not seen CD issue, I don't feel bad about making them available. I need to have another go at the 45 remix version of Me and Bobby McGee sometime too.

incidently it was the photo I took to post here, of my GL record collection that made me remember to do this - I saw my Canadian pressing of GG that I had bought on one of my trips to Massey, from a store in Orillia, of all places.

I don't know how many of you need a good MP3 version of the song, but if you do.....
