Album Notes
Recorded at the Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto, Canada from December 20-22, 1995. Includes liner notes by Burton Cummings and Gordon Sinclair Jr.Burton Cummings unplugged, in a fashion, performing 18 songs from throughout his career on solo piano. Recorded in December 1995 in front of a small but very vocal and appreciative audience. The repertoire includes reprises of old Guess Who hits (including "Undun," where Cummings sounds, probably unintentionally, like a lounge singer deliberately taking the piss out of the tune) and a cover of "Ferry Cross the Mersey," as well as the brief and weird "Gordon Lightfoot Does Maggie May." Mostly it's his own compositions, though; not a recipe that's bound for success in the U.S., but one that worked quite well in Canada, where Cummings retains a devoted audience, and where this album went gold. ~ Richie Unterberger

Many of the CD's were purchased over the years from used CD stores which may have polished or buffed the CD's to look like new.  For most of them I am unable to tell which ones have been polished as they look like new to me.
