I am going to sound like an echo here, here, here, but I couldn't agree more with my esteemed co-posters. I became enamored of Lightfoot when the IYCRMM and SSOL albums got their radio play here in the ol'US of A. About 6 years later when from my mother's apron strings I did pass and got my own place...one of my indulgences was to go to the local music store and order all the albums still attainable from 1978 back that I didn't already have. At first I was told they all were...then I got a phone call that said some were out of stock and out of print. I was disappointed but vowed to be content with those I could get. Imagine my joy when I went to pick up the package and all the albums were there! I have fond memories of that first autumn (the time of year best suited for Lightfoot music IMHO) in my own place and losing myself in his music every night after work and all weekend long. Sunday Concert remains my favorite Lightfoot album to this day and like BillW, it would be the first thing packed for that deserted island stay.
