Yo! Val! I'll take one! I tried going to your website but saw no info about it. Can you explain? Appreciate it!

Borderstone: Are you serious? I really haven't thought about selling prices, but I have one where the album jacket is taped so it isn't "pretty". I would part with that one for less than a more "perfect" copy. Before you jump in with both feet, remember that these are recordings from 1962 - before Lightfoot took the folk path in music. These recordings are fascinating history, and his beautiful voice is - well, beautiful - but this is not the Lightfoot you are familiar with. The first two songs on Songbook (Remember Me (I'm The One) and It's Too Late, He Wins) come from this album; the others are available only on this LP or on singles (45s).

I do have information on the album at my web site, but not on the "Albums" page as it is of historical interest only and Lightfoot does not consider it part of his "discography". To find out a bit more about it, go to my "Biography" page (the link is about halfway down the main page), and then take the "Early Lightfoot" link.

I know you don't have e-mail, so I can't write to directly and I don't want to turn this board into a marketplace. You can write to me via snail mail, if you'd like, at 21 Manning Cove Rd, Ballston Spa, NY 12020.
