Lighthouse

Yes, released here on Evolution (as were the next few). Pretty sure it was also their biggest seller in the US due to the title track being a hit.

 

in all my years i have never even seen it, i have 'sunny days" and 'live" but i couldn't even tell you what the "next 3" were.

i just realized something, we are talking CD, not vinyl, right? cause i had them all on vinyl, on evolution.

 

Those two and Thoughts of Moving On.

And here's the discogs page for the US album (which apparently was also released in quad-- now that's a new one on me).

you ARE talking vinyl.........i was talking CD.

 

Ah, OK. I've never seen any Lighthouse on CD!

 

i have a couple as i said, never got 'one fine morning".

wounded bird has done a couple of them too.

 

Makes perfect sense to me; I usually refer to it as the "soundtrack of my life" syndrome. I like to hear lots of songs I don't especially like because of what they evoke.

 

The One Fine Morning CD out of Japan is the one to own, it is better than the Repertoire IMO.

The alternate cover was in fact available the same time as the one we know here. Vertigo in Europe used it in 1971. The Repertoire CD also uses this cover.

 

Many of us Haligonians miss that great theatre. I didn't see Lighthouse there but I saw April Wine there.

 

I know Wounded Bird did S/T with bonus tracks, what was the other one? I would be interested in acquiring it if possible.

 

Peacing it all together + Suite Feeling came out as Mini Lp's in Japan.

 

Along with S/T , I was wondering if the wounded oiseau label put out anything else with bonus material. I only see the one.

 

my bad, and with apologies...

"good day" is out on CD, but not on wounded bird, it is on the prog temple label

Thanks so I believe we have covered all the options for CD and that is all we may get if one of the members is against reissues.

 

I'm getting some dim Canadian media coverage memory of it being Paul Hoffert involved in some music biz legalities/wrangling from not all that long ago, after the Sunny Days Again CD.

 

I suppose this is a start, from Amazon dot ca, albeit in dribs and drabs:
Lighthouse / Suite Feeling / Peacing It All;
This title will be released on April 14, 2017.
This would be the first three studio albums.

 

Those have all been released already as Mini-Lp's.

 

As of right now, amazon dot com doesn't even list it and amazon dot co dot jp shows it as a "pre-order" and as an "import".
It does say "import" on the Canadian Amazon site, but isn't that kind of cheap for Japanese pressings?

 

Skip Prokop is one of the greatest underrated drummers ever, he also wrote the song I'd be so happy for Three Dog Night.

Of course he also appeared on The Live Adventures...

 

I like the self titled first album. I believe you class them as a horn band at that point in their career. I have the Wounded Bird CD.

 

Lighthouse was the first recorded rock band that I ever saw live. They played an after-school
set in my high-school auditorium one day about 3pm or so. This would have been in my first
year of high-school - 1969/70. Have always dug them. Wish Skip would write a book. He has
said that no writer has ever approached him about his association with Janis Joplin.

 

I just felt like hearing this:

"Broken Guitar Blues" - Lighthouse.

 

With the sad news of Mr. Prokop's passing, I found this bit in a Canadian Press snippet from today's Toronto Star and shown here from the Winnipeg Free Press, regarding co-founder Paul Hoffert's wife, Brenda:
Hoffert said she's planning a celebratory concert next year to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the band.
I'm not even going to say what I'm hoping for; don't want to put the jinx on in.

 

I don't remember that one, I had 3 or 4 albums back in the day. Which one was it on?
