Anthony, go to the ´main´ page of this forum and look under ´music shop´. you will find a lot of information on there. also the book "Paul Simon Lyrics 1964 to 2008 has all Paul Simon songs and the albums they were first released on.

Add -

1. DVD You´re The One Simon solo Paris concert from October 2000 is a must have (is also available as a DVD and CD).

2. find a copy of the unreleased 2CD Capeman Cast Recording.

3. Still want more, get the Paul Simon concert DVD from 1980 Philadelphia.

Another suggestion. Join Dime and download what you can,starting with-

1. BBC TV Concert from Nov 2006 DVD (excellent HD recording with 5.1 sound)

2. 2CD recording of FM Radio Broadcast of last USA concert from October 2006 tour from Tower Theatre Philadelphia. Excellent recording, excellent concert.

Born At The Right Time video.I recently purchased it from Amazon US.A documentary and footage of the 1991/1992 tour. has a lot of songs from Graceland and Rhythm Of The Saints. agree with Gerard re Youre The One dvd. its a Paul Simon classic. I wonder if anyone has everything Paul ever recorded including Tom and Jerry and Paul Landis.

Brenda, is Born At The Right Time documentary only available on VHS?
I wonder what the ´Paul Simon - Born at the Right Time Tour´ book is like?
The first Cd I bought was a 20 song CD S&G compilation called ´Definitive Simon and Garfunkel´ was a different mix of Hits and important songs, but you would find them all on Essential S&G. (I was looking for a greatest hits that had Kathy´s song on it.)

Both Greatest Hits and Definitive S&G have Kathy´s Song...the beautiful and best live recording from ´69.

Hi Amihay,
I´m not sure if the recording of Kathy´s song on the Columbia recordings (and one on Sounds Of Silence) is the same live version that is on Definitive S&G. I like the live version.

Also the live version of For Emily on Definitive S&G is beautiful compared to the studio recording.
The Essential S&G (2CD) has the best versions of every song whether live or studio, I think.

Pity they never recorded a live version of ´April Come She Will´ in the 60s (that I know of). I like the one on ´Concert in Central Park´ better than the studio one.

I also Love this version recorded live 29 Oct 1993 at the Paramount Theatre New York. some lovely photos as well ,I cannot get the url to copy but here is the link on u tube "
Simon & Garfunkel - Kathy´s Song Live 1993" best thing about their songs there are so many diffrent versions and they are all great.

Helen yes both Born At The Right Time and Paul´s Concert In The Park are still only on vhs. I ordered mine from Amazon.US a couple of months ago. You have to buy new as they do not seem to post used copies. Born at The Right Time is still there for US dollars $39.95 plus postage. it is well worth the money . as well as lots of film clips great interviews with Paul and his family and friends. Concert In The Park is more expensive at $111.88 but also great stuff . Liking this Paul Simon guy is sure depleting my bank balance !Both played all right on my video player.

Brenda,
Our local JB HIfi doesn´t have You´re the One Concert DVD and can´t get it in (not on their computer) but their website has it for $22.99 so I ordered it just now.
I don´t know the songs on You´re the one yet so It´ll be a good intro for me.

Thanks for the good advice, I´m learning so much.

if you also want all the single songs he did as a duet on other musicians albums, you may will have a problem ;-)
