However, once he'd finally "made it" in the late 1960s, he immediately set about trying to distance himself from much of his early recording career.
Indeed, when a compilation LP titled Early Lightfoot - comprising his first solo recordings, from a pair of Spring 1962 Nashville sessions - appeared in 1971, he is rumoured to have bought up all known copies and destroyed them.
The story may of course be apocryphal, but those rare-as-hens-teeth recordings are included herein in their entirety, augmented by a 45rpm and live album which Lightfoot had recorded a couple of months earlier, with singer/guitarist Terry Whelan, in a short-lived Folk duo called The Two Tones.
This material is all exceptionally rare and has never previously been thus compiled; the majority of these sides are impossible to find elsewhere on CD.
