Yet another new Ebay thread

[johnfowles]

I haven't been as diligent at keeping tabs on GL items on ebay recently although I did recently snag a "like new" Songbook boxset for a mere $29.00 with free shipping.
But this one that just might interest UK fans caught my eye today


GORDON LIGHTFOOT - Remember Me (I’m The One)/Daisy Doo ORIG Decca 45 F 11527 (UK, 1962)
Happy to present Gordon’s 1st ever UK 45 from way back, definitely his rarest and hardest to find single on these shores. The A is an Elvisesque ballad, but it’s the B, Daisy Doo that steals the show - a great driving rocker!
The vinyl is in pretty good shape for 47 years old, especially on the B. There’s some light marking - mainly thin hairlines and very light scuffing, but on the A there’s also some small white spots/deposits that don’t affect the play. Overall looks VG but plays better with the B nearly sounding perfect.
Labels fine with no writing, stickers or other damage. I can’t really detect any obvious spindle usage, maybe indicating this disc has been lightly played - it certainly sounds fresh enough!

Anybody who read about my $29.00 Songbook and who does not already have this should hie on over to:-
http://cgi.ebay.com/Gordon-Lightfoot...3A1%7C294%3A50


where another is on offer at the same starting price plus a small shipping charge
In today's economy I think the prices people are willing to pay have softened plus songook ebay auctions usually have a starting price in the US $50+ range

I initially thought I had come across an extremely interesting item currently on ebay is this recording (my first impression was that this was previously completely unknown to me)


the flipside is one of the singles tracks on "Early Lightfoot"
that I know pretty well already

I must have missed it because it certainly appears on Wayne's cornucopia
http://www.lightfoot.ca/single60.htm
(albeit as an alternative or more complete song title for Adios Adios
but I gave never seen it on sale before under that title although I have of course heard Adios Adios.
and the title does indeed appear in the first line of the song as evidenced by:-
http://www.lightfoot.ca/adios.htm
"G) I'll meet you in Mich(C)oacan the (G) heart of Mexi(G7)c"
Phew!!

I also know the flip side very well... {Chateau label}, I heard Lightfoot mention this a few times in interviews.

Since this thread was started in May and I had no Internet, it is also the first I've seen the Decca record of Daisy-Doo another song I and am sure many others know.

Interesting find (mon brave) as you would say !
