Gordon Lightfoot Sundown: AS 40 Series

Gordon Lightfoot Sundown Reissued for the AS 40 Series on 180g 45RPM 2LP: Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the Original Analog Master Tape and Pressed at QRP

When Sundown hit the airwaves in 1974, Gordon Lightfoot didn't just top the charts — he captured a moment in time. With its mix of folk storytelling, country warmth, and pop polish, Sundown became one of the defining albums of the decade. The title track alone — haunting, hypnotic, and unforgettable — remains one of the greatest songs ever written about love and jealousy. But it's the full album that keeps drawing listeners back: "High and Dry," "Carefree Highway," "Seven Island Suite" — each a masterclass in songwriting craft and emotional subtlety.

Now, Sundown sounds better than ever. Cut at 45RPM by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, this new edition brings the shimmer of 12-string guitar and nuance of Lightfoot's unmistakable baritone into sharp, lifelike focus. The pressing — handled by Quality Record Pressings — offers quiet surfaces and flat profiles, ensuring every note plays with presence and clarity.

For fans of Lightfoot, for lovers of the singer-songwriter era, and for anyone who wants to hear a timeless album in the form it deserves, this Sundown reissue is the way to experience a classic reborn.
