"Affair On The 8th Avenue" is the only song left out from the "Gords Gold" album, when it was released as a CD (to make the original 2LPs fit onto one CD) ... Is this one of the last tracks that are not available on any CD release ? (The version on "songbook" is also the original version).

Yes, this is the only track from any "official" LP that was not released on CD. We can hope that at some point in the future, WB or Rhino decide to release Gord's Gold, remastered and with the one song restored as it will now fit. Thane Tierney, who produced all of the Rhino Lightfoot CDs, was well aware that this recording was not available on CD; it was a favorite of his too. Unfortunately, he is no longer at Rhino, so we'll have to hope somebody else takes up the cause.
