I agree Touhy, the kids weren't into folk at that time. Although teenagers were the buying public at that time, and still are (disposable income) all types of music is sold not just what teenagers listen to. Remember in the 1970's Gord was already in his mid to late 30's not on the top of a teen's list. But as a young adult, I certainly enjoyed the Gord pictures on the albums and a natural, unposed look was appealing. Look at the other albums covers in the day Walter and the posed ones looked stupid. That said, I certainly can look at Gord posed or natural.
