Description

Summertime Dream is one of Gordon Lightfoot’s defining mid‑’70s albums, recorded during his commercial peak and released on Reprise in 1976. The Canadian pressing carries the MS‑2246 catalog number and features the classic Reprise ship‑and‑flags label with WEA Music of Canada perimeter text.

The album blends Lightfoot’s warm baritone, acoustic arrangements, and narrative songwriting, highlighted by the landmark single “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” a detailed ballad recounting the 1975 sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior. The remainder of the album balances reflective folk‑rock (“Race Among the Ruins,” “Spanish Moss”) with lighter, melodic pieces (“Summertime Dream,” “Never Too Close”).

This Canadian edition mirrors the U.S. release but includes domestic publishing credits (Moose Music Ltd. – CAPAC) and Canadian manufacturing identifiers.
