Lightfoot told Gzowski that it was UA's compilation set that he destroyed because he had a new album out at the time.. (altho there was some chatter that it was the 1971 AME label release of "Early Lightfoot" - An EBAY auction in 2003 - "Lightfoot tried to block the release of the LP and was unsuccessful so instead he bought as many copies as he could and destroyed them - as legend has it, with an axe in his backyard!"
and from another auction said:
"Mega-rare LP featuring his early recordings for Art Snider's, Toronto-based Chateau label. This is the infamous release of his 1962-63, pre-United Artists recordings. Ame Records was another short lived Snider label. Lightfoot was not pleased when this LP was released, and most copies were pulled back and later destroyed" ) Years ago Jenney had him sign a copy of Early Lightfoot and he told her he had bought most of them and had destroyed them himself.
