 | <<are they only available individually in North America?>>
All new copies of Paul Simon albums stocked in record shops in the UK are the remastered ones with the bonus tracks. |

 | Matthew - to copy the YTO live tracks from the DVD onto a CD is not a big thing :-) - I think the extra tracks from the YTO are really worth nothing (some instrumental versions would have been worth more than that IMO) |

| You can buy the bonus tracks individually at iTunes if you already have the albums, that´s where I got Soft Parachutes from. |

 | I did that as well, cos my CDs were relatively new (had the tapes originially). DVDs of CP91 and BATRT would complete my completest collection.
I haven´t seen PS 1963-1993 for years, I have the PS anthololgy which I think is similar |

 | I think it was a rather poor set. You buy it expecting a lot of extra tracks and a lot of info in the booklet(s). Even below mediocre. Recording dates, session info. Just the same as with the Simon & Garfunkel ´Old Friends´3CD set. Great material, but terrible info. Ofcourse, be happy with what you get, but a little more for such an amount of money wouldn´t do any harm. And that while there´s still 120 hours of unedited material somewhere in these vaults of Sony....For instance: where do the songs ´Somewhere they can´t find me´ and ´We´ve got a groovy thing goin´originate from; recorded in april 1965, still no hits, WM3AM flopped, and already recording for Columbia, strange. I could go on for hours......

| I do not have The Paul Simon Songbook on tape. Just the original vinyl and the new CD. I have Greatest Hits, Etc on tape, CD and vynil which was quite hard to get. I also have that Tommy & Jerry album with them getting onto a plane which Paul had banned.
Bodo - I am quite aware that putting live tracks from You´re The One on a CD would not have been that hard. You miss my point - I just like listening to them as they are very accurate renditions which you can appreciate more when you cannot see the performance.
I would have liked to have had Ten Years on one of these CDs and the You´re The One DVD should have been available on a full double-CD in my opinion like the Concert In The Park was - but you cannot have it all. |

 | I bought this boxset when it was released in 2004 and I think its amazing. The sound is really really good.
Too bad about slipping though, but you an have that on most compilations cds. |

| They still sticker "Three" bonus tracks for the "Still Crazy" album, when in fact there are only two.Rumours were it to be "Night Game" or"Silent Eyes". |
