Description

GORDON LIGHTFOOT If You Could Read My Mind hails from 2026 and is a SEALED 180 gram LP. After a string of highly regarded albums for United Artists, Gordon Lightfoot left to start a new journey with Reprise Records. In April of 1970, he delivered a great collection of songs initially titled Sit Down Young Stranger to the brass at the new label, and in a relatively short time, radio was picking up a lot of traction with the brilliance of "If You Could Read My Mind."

 

The label convinced Gordon Lightfoot to change the name of the album to If You Could Read My Mind and the rest is pop music history. Within a few short months, the album would sell millions of copies around the world, netting him a #1 single and at Top 5 album. As the song would carry well into 1971 and 1972, Gordon would become one a world class artist, setting him up for a career that would last for many decades.

 

The album would also include more Lightfoot classics like "Minstrel Of The Dawn," "The Pony Man," and "Approaching Lavender," as well as the first ever recorded version of "Me and Bobby McGee" by Kris Kristofferson.

 

His musician friends lined up to help record this masterwork with the likes of Randy Newman, Nick DeCaro, Ry Cooder, Van Dyke Parks, John B. Sebastian, plus long time bandmate greats Red Shea and Rick Haynes.

 

This album would go on to become one of the greatest albums of the seventies and one of biggest albums in Gordon Lightfoot's significant catalog of recorded music.

 

Launching as part of a new audiophile vinyl series, Rhino Reserve, offering legendary albums on 180-gram premium-quality black vinyl. Ensuring the highest audio quality, Rhino Reserve will be pressed locally at Fidelity Record Pressing's brand-new plant in Oxnard, CA, and cut by renowned mastering engineer Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab.
