Which Leonard Cohen album contains the song "Alexandra Leaving"?

Asked by Adagio (14059points) December 29th, 2009

When first introduced to the music of Leonard Cohen in 1973 I was 13 years old and hated it. Music to Jump off the Harbour Bridge By I called it. Thirty-six years on from then and I feel like I’ve just woken up and discovered this wonderful poet for the very first time, WOW! Yesterday I ordered a copy of the Live in London double album but sadly it does not contain Alexandra Leaving. I just know somebody out there will be able to point me in the right direction, if not walk me right up to the front door. Thank you people.

Ten New Songs, and disc two of The Essential Leonard Cohen. “http://lmgtfy.com/?q=What+Leonard+Cohen+album+contains+Alexandra+Leaving%3F” I googled it for you.

I was late discovering him too. 10 New Songs was my baptism!

Right to the front door, I just knew it, thank you all.

@Austinlad 10 New Songs was my baptism! You’ve obviously been sitting at the master’s feet, non?
