Subject: RE: Lyr Req: approaching lavender
Right, John Hardly.   I also have the "Sit Down Young Stranger" LP. The name was changed to cash in on the popularity of "If You Could Read My Mind." A really good album, but for me, none compare to the very first GL album with the brown cover.   I bought it strictly for that easy-going Lightfoot sitting in a chair, guitar in hand. I was never sorry.

My favorite example of multiple versions of an album was the original Don Williams album, available on JMI, DOT, ABC-DOT, MCA and I can't remember what all other combinations. I used to THINK I had them all, but I suppose I didn't catch them all. Like the Lightfoot albums, I don't think any of them were more valuable than the others.
