OK OK
Not everybody here especially the younger ones have had the benefit of the tactile experience of handling and viewing Gord's album sleeves in all their full sized glory.
So for them and those who might have forgotten I have scanned the relevant part of the sleeve
It really is a remarkable print because of the "gauze filter" or whatever method of screening was used you have to actually pass a fingertip over the print to reassure yourself that it is not three dimensional!
I think I can prove that this one of my personal favo(u)rite covers because back in May 2000 (after my stroke) another London journalist who had read my 15 minutes of fame articles in sundry London Toronto Montreal and local newspapers decided to write up a story. She hoped to sell it to the Mail
On Sunday for their weekend magazine and the Mail duly arranged for a photographer to drive over 50 miles to snap me and Susan who just happenned to be visiting me fom the States
After an excruciating series of pictures of me (freshly out of hospital) clambering over a "rustic" (iron) 5-bar gate etc we ended up in front of my house for a final shot.
"Hang on" says I and dashed into my house to get a Lightfoot album to hold and guess which one I chose??
I have cropped out most of Susan (who has an aversion to having her picture splashed over the internet)although this and the resulting article in the August 2000 issue of the UK Saga magazine was available for a short time on line
