Good question Brink!
Glasses what Glasses??
I often saw the UK issue of Sunday Concert with its blue cover while doing the periodical check for new Lightfoot releases when I was back in the UK. But I am sure that that cover does not show Gord with glasses.The little pic on Wayne's site http://www.lightfoot.ca is not clear enough to check but occasionally the UK album comes up on ebay and I have saved several jpegs used there none show glasses but maybe a circular shadow or "rings under his eyes" effect fooled Frank V there is for example a narrow scan on a current auction at:- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1598
which I think proves my point.If Gord ever wears glasses there would surely be photos showing that fact in existance?
Of course he is wearing (sun)glasses on the "Endless Wire" cover and also they seem to me to be evident on the Early Lightfoot AME album cover. Also Frank if you read this how did you deduce that the "blue" SC cover has Massey Hall as its background the curtains might be from there but Gord I think does not usually sing on stage in front of said curtains!!!
