Title: This was a birthday gift for my mother.
Review: I was beyond shocked when I saw this item at my door two weeks earlier than it was expected to be. The seller was just great and I would definitely order from them again.

Title: not the gold I was hoping for
Review: Way too much from Gord's "purple period," at expense of missing classics like Big Blue, Don Quixote, Patriot Dreams and minor gems like Christian Island--what were they thinking? Tip-off is inclusion of his cover of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Gave it an extra star for its inclusion of the purple-mood-busting Black Day in July and the omission of the over-exposed Sundown (couldn't get the copyright? Just as well.) This gets the Neil Diamond award for bad stuff by a good songwriter.

Title: A Lesser Collection
Review: For a collection of the United Artists songs you are far better off buying "The United Artists Collection". With that collection you get Lightfoot's first four UA albums -- a total of 49 songs, including all of the 22 songs on "Very Best" and then 27 more -- at a lower price. Also check out "The Original Lightfoot" which has the complete five UA albums -- a total of 60 songs -- plus a nice booklet, although at a higher price. I gave this "Very Best" collection three stars because the songs on it are all good songs, even though it is not the best UA collection available.

Title: Affair On 8th Avenue
Review: Have never enjoyed such a musical genius as Gordon Lightfoot. His crowning glory of course, would have to "Gord's Gold", with the exception of the leaving out of "Affair On 8th Avenue". Mr. Lightfoot's voice in my opinion, was at it's very, very, best during this time in his career. I purchased "The Very Best of Gordon Lightfoot, Vols. 1-2", specifically for the "Affair On 8th Avenue" song. It was NOT the more beautiful rendition that was on the "Gord's Gold" LP. As I have all of the other songs on other CD's, I now have a CD that will hardly if ever be listened to. Is there any hope that Mr. Lightfoot and/or the music industry will do a re-issue of "Gord's Gold" with the undeniably beautiful "Affair On 8th Avenue" on it?

Review: I can see arguments that this album does not include ALL his best, but as a first real experience of his work it is a beautiful album with numerous lovely songs. Can't stop playing it!!!!
