Well Done the "B"
Some of the other "hidden masterpieces" you should be IMHO be rediscovering from the United Artists albums are:-
from TWIF:-
Home From the Forest
from DSMMN
Mountains and Marian
from BHOE
The Gypsy (Deedle-Dee-Dum)
Sunday Concert most definitely Apology also Leaves Of Grass
In fact as I have said before in sentiments several others agreed with the 5 UA albums are essential (unlike many artists who - unless you get obsessed as we undoubtedly all are- I have found generally their early albums are not so relevant). So all the more reason to get them either as part of the current
"19-CD" collection auction or the Canadian 3-CD set:-
So for DMD3 and Oma and others still trying to complete their Gord collection
visit Ebay and try for:-
Either the current "19 CD" auction at:-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1053
still $13.75
amongst the 19 cds are
THE UNITED ARTISTS COLLECTION 2CD ULTRA SET (His First 4 albums): Lightfoot, The Way I Feel, Did She Mention My Name?, Back Here On Earth. (L/TWIF/DSMMN/BHOE)
SUNDAY CONCERT, PLUS (His first LIVE album, includes bonus tracks)
or the current Canadian 3-CD set
still on offer for $14.93 "Buy It Now":-

Edited to correct one-finger typing typos and to clarify a couple of points.
