In very good condition, and delivered in a timely manner. Product was exactly what I wanted.
Nonetheless, the sounds are great, and the volume is at an even pace throughout the package.And the best part is yet to come: it includes ALL of Lightfoot's Top 40 Billboard Hit Singles. Take away Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot might well be the most influential folk artist EVER, and his songwriting is evidence of his generous work."Remastered", or the state of music being reconfined, is a process that involves deleting ANY hissing or echoes resulted from aged media. In this case, I believe they remastered his work from the original tapes, but I could be wrong. "Songbook". Therefore, this is a GREAT collection for casual fans and huge fanatics combined. He was a Canadian folk artist with great talents in the big three: music, vocals, and lyrics.As far as what this collection actually contains, I will not spoil too much. yeah, that's a term well-used for this excellent collection of Gordon Lightfoot's career. However, it's basically this: 4 discs, ranging from the 60's to the 90's, fully remastered to give the audience what they want: good tunes and great stories.
This collection is a must for any serious Lightfoot fan. .collections of Gordon Lightfoot music I have ever heard.
In short, if you're on the fence as I was, do yourself a favor and buy this collection. There are several gems here that you won't see anywhere else, but some of the greatest songs in the history of folk are in this beautiful set, as well. There is also a well-crafted booklet included, narrated by Lightfoot, that has many interesting stories behind the lyrics of these great songs. I waited a long time before I purchased this box set, as I have all the available Lightfoot cd's. You will not be disappointed, even if you're not a Lightfoot fan. It is a masterful collection (at a very resonable price) by one of the greatest minds in folk music. Now I wonder why I waited so long. Each of the four cd's represents a particular stage in Lightfoot's career, from the early days to more recent times, and what a long, wonderful career it has been.
I have always been a Lightfoot fan since the very early 70's. Even with this set I still had to have the original albums that are out on CD now for the lost ones that didn't make it in this collection.
You can't go wrong. ANYWAY what I am trying to say is, LOVE IT.
There is no way they could fit all the Lightfoot songs I like on four CDs I understand that, however the ones that are here are great. Gords Gold finds him re-recording a lot of the early stuff, these are the originals for the most part.
There is NO ONE like Gordon Lightfoot. I love this collection.
The sound is good and he sings the original version on 99% of the tunes here.
