On this release you get the original studio versions.Quite simply, Lightfoot is one of the best singer-songwriters of the last forty years and this belongs in any serious music library. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Not one of the best due to the quality of soundThis CD is not one of my favorites, not because of the songs, but the quality of the production. You are not able to hear the richness of Gordon Lightfoot's voice like you do on Gord's Gold and If You Could Read My Mind. His voice, in addition to his ability to paint pictures with his words, is one of the reasons I have loved him since I first heard Gord' Gold on vinyl as a child.The United Artists Collection does have on it many songs I had yet to hear on other albums. They are much more "folksy" and less lyrical in my opinion.
