 | Hi all,
I am in London right now :-) and found and extended version of the Capeman album at the Virgin Megastore including a demo version of Born In Puerto Rico, Can I Forgive Him and Shoplifting Clothes...Anyone heard anything about this? I must have completely missed it. |

 | It is as the 9 CD in the box with bonus. And each CD can be to buy separately.

| You can still buy them. At amazon they sell both albums (for exapmle Graceland) for the same price. Maybe they have too many Old CD´s in stock.
I think it wasn´t a good idea to ´replace´ the original albums by these new ones with the extra bonus tracks. Simon always thought a lot about the song order on every album, and these extra tracks destroy this order. (not the order, but now the last song on YTO isn´t ´Quiet´ anylonger... but it should be the last one) |

 | The sound is almost "another world". Especially on the first albums including Graceland, not so much on the albums after that.
Even without bonus-tracks recommendable to buy (and sell the Old ones at ebay).
And the bonus tracks contain many highlights. Since Simon is a perfectionist, you get many more emotional but nevertheless touching versions here.
"Duncan", American Tune", "Slip slidin` away" with a strong beat, a different version of "Gone at last" etc.
Also in this regard the later albums are less interesting, and I agree, that on YTO "Quiet" should mark the end. |

| great! you´ve just convinced me to go and get the new albums then! but they´re kind of impossible to find in australia, and i don´t have my own credit card, so i guess i´ll have to wait until i manage to convince my parents to let me use their credit card... |

| I totally sympathise with you, Nik. I´m 16 like you, so have no credit card to order stuff on the internet. I spent MONTHS trawling the 3 major CD shops in my nearest town, until I was lucky enough to find the boxset in one of the shops - I was so happy!:-)
However, personally, I would say that the boxset isn´t worth buying unless you have very few or no PS albums. I only had tapes of most of the albums which is why I bought the boxset, so it was worth my while spending all that money. But, then again, I´m not really very good at hearing differences in sound quality, so maybe it is worth buying afterall..
Good luck! |

| lol thanks gypsy. yeah i do have very few ps albums - ie. Graceland and the anthology and Concert In The Park. i´ve got lots of the other songs as mp3s but i´d rather have them on cd. they don´t stock all that many around here.
lol and it´s worth spending any amount of money on paul and his stuff! |

| Have just thought of something that could possibly help you. One of my friends has a debit card (she is 16) which allows her to order stuff off the internet. Maybe it´s different in Australia, but you could investigate trying to get one. |
