The 3rd one's Too Much To Lose! It sounds better than the recording on Songbook. :D The lyrics are different, too. Is there a way we can burn these to a CD?

I'm listening as I go; the 4th one is The Lost Children.

(I don't know the 1st two)

Edgar's General Store, I think so that's the name of the song. I wish he'd put that one on one of his albums.

There's one that sounds like Too Much To Lose (songbook version) and Long River when it first starts, but it's neither one of them.

Fox Fire is another song that's near the end. (He explains before what a fox fire is)

Okay after giving a listen,i have only one question....why in the name of good music are these not available on an album??!!

I immediately loved the first one and second. I like the different versions of the one's we know as well.

Gordon,are you there? We'll buy it if you okay it...okay?

Yes Tony visit:-
http://www.lightfoot.ca/wbdemos.htm
Wayne Francis there not only has the complete track listing but also his short (1-4 line) review/impression and a link to a lyrics page for every song

Yes James
Save the file to your Hard drive it is only 23.2Mb which as the collection is 23 songs indicates that the file is an all-in-one mp3***,so these can be separated into the constituent 23 tracks then the whole lot burnt directly to an audio CD from the mp3s using any number of burning program(me)s such as Nero Burning/Express and a CD Burner of course
http://www.lightfoot.ca/wbdemos.htm
*** If therefore each mp3 is around 1 MB that suggests that they were encoded at a fairly low bit rate thus the resulting audio CD will not be exactly Hi Fidelity but given the quality of the original recordings still amply good enough for most ears especially older iones!!
the question of whether the version of "crossroads" included is a genuine different one to that on Lightfoot! was recently dicussed in topic:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=003562#000000
which shows some snazzy artwork from the copy that frequently appears on ebay
(but not the copy currently on offer at:-
http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-GORDON-LIGH...QQcmdZViewItem
John Fowles
P.S.
if you want these I suggest that you download them soonest before anybody tries to shut that site down

Hi, i've tried to burn these songs onto a disc, but they will not fit! Does anyone know how to separate this file into separate songs? Any help much appreciated!
