I must agree with you Mike. Waiting For You is a masterpiece. In fact, time and time again, I keep coming back to this album and I think I've come to the conclusion that it's actually my favourite Gordon Lightfoot album. The writing is superb, the melodies are deceivingly simple, and I like the sparse, acoustic recording. You can really tell he put a lot of time and effort into the creation of this record, and I believe Reprise could have exploited this record more commercially had they had the vision or the desire to promote GL's music more. Can't believe it's been deleted. It truly deserves more promotion and I encourage anyone who hasn't heard it on this board, to get a copy somehow. It is superb.
