1986 Original Embossed Cover Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Appears Glossy, Unplayed. “With Graceland, Paul Simon Hit On The Idea Of Combining His Always Perceptive Songwriting With The Little-Heard Mbaqanga Music Of South Africa, Creating A Fascinating Hybrid That Re-Enchanted His Old Audience And Earned Him A New One. It Is True That The South African Angle (Including Its Controversial Aspect During The Apartheid Days) Was A Powerful Marketing Tool And That The Catchy Music Succeeded In Presenting Listeners With That Magical Combination: Something They'd Never Heard Before That Nevertheless Sounded Familiar. As Eclectic As Any Record Simon Had Made, It Also Delved Into Zydeco And Conjunto-Flavored Rock & Roll While Marking A Surprising New Lyrical Approach (Presaged On Some Songs On Hearts And Bones); For The Most Part, Simon Abandoned A Linear, Narrative Approach To His Words, Instead Drawing Highly Poetic ("Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes"), Abstract ("The Boy In The Bubble"), And Satiric ("I Know What I Know") Portraits Of Modern Life, Often Charged By Striking Images And Turns Of Phrase Torn From The Headlines Or Overheard In Contemporary Speech. An Enormously Successful Record, Graceland Became The Standard Against Which Subsequent Musical Experiments By Major Artists Were Measured.” William Ruhlmann, AMG. more

Graceland
Used - Vinyl - 88691914721
2012 180gm Record Store Day, remastered, 25th anniversary pressing with insert. 2 1/2 inch top seam split. Paul Simon’s Graceland remains one of the defining albums of the 1980s—a radiant fusion of American songwriting and South African rhythms that reshaped the sound of popular music. With its mix of mbaqanga grooves, accordion-driven melodies, and deeply human storytelling, Graceland captures Simon at his most adventurous and inspired. Graceland, released in August 1986, stands as a landmark album blending American pop with South African musical traditions. Sparked by Simon’s fascination with a bootleg cassette of mbaqanga street music, Graceland was recorded partly in Johannesburg during the apartheid era, featuring South African musicians like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, guitarist Ray Phiri, and bassist Bakithi Kumalo, whose fretless bass lines illuminate tracks such as “You Can Call Me Al.” The album’s title track references Elvis Presley’s Memphis home while exploring themes of personal journey and reconciliation. *Graceland* introduced international listeners to township jive, isicathamiya harmonies, and zydeco influences, merging them seamlessly with Simon’s poetic lyricism and folk-pop sensibilities. Though the project drew political controversy for bypassing the UN’s cultural boycott of South Africa, it also highlighted and celebrated the artistry of its collaborators, leading to greater global recognition for South African music. For vinyl enthusiasts, this pressing of Graceland is prized for its warm sonic palette, dynamic range, and the intricate layering of voices and instruments, making it a rich and immersive listening experience that showcases the album’s creative production and enduring influence on world music. more

Hearts And Bones
Used - Vinyl - 9 23942-1
Beautiful 1983 US original with printed inner sleeve. "Hearts and Bones was a commercial disaster, the lowest-charting new studio album of Paul Simon's career. It is also his most personal collection of songs, one of his most ambitious, and one of his best. It retains a personal vision, one largely devoted to the challenges of middle-aged life, among them a renewed commitment to love; the title song was a notable testament to new romance, while "Train in the Distance" reflected on romantic discord. Elsewhere, "The Late Great Johnny Ace" was his meditation on John Lennon's murder and how it related to the mythology of pop music. Musically, Simon moved forward and backward simultaneously, taking off from the jazz fusion style of his last two albums into his old loves of doo wop and rock & roll while also incorporating current sounds with such new collaborators as dance music producer Nile Rodgers and minimalist composer Philip Glass. The result was Simon's most impressive collection in a decade and the most underrated album in his catalog." Al Music Guide - William Ruhlmann. more

Used Import - P-10895W
1980 Japanese white label promo press, complete with Obi & insert. "Sample" sticker affixed to front cover. EX/NM- vinyl. One-Trick Pony is a quieter, more introspective turn, written in the margins between songs and cinema. Stripped-down arrangements and lived-in grooves give Simon space to explore disillusionment, resilience, and small human reckonings. Tracks like “Late in the Evening” carry a subtle rhythmic lift, while the rest leans reflective and unguarded. Modest in scale yet rich in feeling, it’s a thoughtful chapter that rewards attention rather than demands it. more

One-Trick Pony
Used - Vinyl - HS 3472
1980 US original with custom printed card inner sleeve. Vibrant, glossy jacket, hint of ring wear. "Though it was released to coincide with the opening of the film One-Trick Pony, which Paul Simon wrote and starred in, the One-Trick Pony album is not a soundtrack, as it is sometimes categorized, at least, not exactly. If it were, it might contain the Paul Simon song "Soft Parachutes" and other non-Simon music featured in the movie. Instead, this is a studio album containing many of the movie songs, some of them in the same performances (two were cut live at the Agora Club in Cleveland). The record is not billed as a soundtrack, but a sleeve note reads, "The music on this Compact Disc was created for the Paul Simon Movie 'One-Trick Pony.'" Anyway, if Simon was in fact writing songs for Jonah, his movie character (as seems true of songs like "Jonah," "God Bless the Absentee," and "Long, Long Day"), he intended that character to take a somewhat less considered lyrical viewpoint than Paul Simon generally does, but to be even more enamored of light jazz fusion than Paul Simon had been on his last album, Still Crazy After All These Years. Tasty licks abound from the fretwork of Eric Gale, Hiram Bullock, and Hugh McCracken, and the rhythm section of Steve Gadd, Tony Levin, and Richard Tee is equally in the groove. This is the closest thing to a band album Simon ever made, and it contains some of his most rhythmic and energetic singing. But it is also his most uneven album, simply because the songwriting, with the exception of the title song and the ballads "How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns" and "Nobody," is not up to his usual standard. Maybe he was too busy writing his screenplay to polish these songs to the usual gloss. (It can't have been than Jonah wasn't supposed to be as talented as Paul Simon. Could it?) In any case, though the album spawned a Top Ten hit in "Late in the Evening" and may have sold more copies than the film did tickets, it remained a disappointment in both artistic and commercial terms."

From The Opening Cut, "Mother And Child Reunion" Simon, Who Had Snuck Several Subtle Musical Explorations Into The Generally Conservative S&G Sound, Broke Free, Heralding The Rise Of Reggae With An Exuberant Track Recorded In Jamaica For A Song About Death. From There, It Was Off To Paris For A Track In South American Style And A Rambling Story Of A Fisherman's Son, "Duncan" (Which Made The Singles Chart). But Most Of The Album Had A Low-Key Feel, With Simon On Acoustic Guitar Backed By Only A Few Trusted Associates (Among Them Joe Osborn, Larry Knechtel, David Spinozza, Mike Mainieri, Ron Carter, And Hal Blaine, Along With Such Guests As Stefan Grossman, Airto Moreira, And Stephane Grappelli), Singing A Group Of Informal, Intimate, Funny, And Closely Observed Songs (Among Them The Lively Top 40 Hit "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard").

Custom Silver Inner Sleeve With Lyrics. 5 Stars! "If Any Musical Justification Were Needed For The Breakup Of Simon & Garfunkel, It Could Be Found On This Striking Collection, Paul Simon's Post-split Debut. From The Opening Cut, "Mother And Child Reunion" (A Top Ten Hit), Simon, Who Had Snuck Several Subtle Musical Explorations Into The Generally Conservative S&g Sound, Broke Free, Heralding The Rise Of Reggae With An Exuberant Track Recorded In Jamaica For A Song About Death. From There, It Was Off To Paris For A Track In South American Style And A Rambling Story Of A Fisherman's Son, "Duncan" (Which Made The Singles Chart). But Most Of The Album Had A Low-key Feel, With Simon On Acoustic Guitar Backed By Only A Few Trusted Associates (Among Them Joe Osborn, Larry Knechtel, David Spinozza, Mike Manieri, Ron Carter, And Hal Blaine, Along With Such Guests As Stefan Grossman, Airto Moreira, And Stephane Grappelli), Singing A Group Of Informal, Intimate, Funny, And Closely Observed Songs (Among Them The Lively Top 40 Hit "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard"). It Was Miles Removed From The Big, Stately Ballad Style Of Bridge Over Troubled Water And Signaled That Simon Was A Versatile Songwriter As Well As An Expressive Singer With A Much Broader Range Of Musical Interests Than He Had Previously Demonstrated. You Didn't Miss Art Garfunkel On Paul Simon, Not Only Because Simon Didn't Write Garfunkel-like Showcases For Himself, But Because The Songs He Did Write Showed Off His Own, More Varied Musical Strengths."

Paul Simon's Concert In The Park
Used - Vinyl - WX 448
Stunning 1991 German 2LP Gatefold Rarity. Ten Years After Playing A Free Concert In New York's Central Park With Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon Returned, Backed By The New York Session Musicians And The Native Musicians From South Africa And Brazil Who Had Enlivened His Solo Work. This 23-Track Double Album Set Runs Nearly Two Hours. Half The Selections Come From His Graceland And The Rhythm Of The Saints Albums, But Unlike The Graceland Tour Of 1987, The Born At The Right Time Tour Of 1991 Made Room For Simon's Earlier Solo Work As Well As A Few Simon & Garfunkel Songs. Simon Made Such Stylistically Various Material Work Together By Frontloading The Set With The Newer Stuff And Rearranging Some Of The Older Solo Stuff, So That "Kodachrome," For Example, Was Refitted With A Guitar Line Courtesy Of Graceland Player Ray Phiri. (Wisely, Except For A Becalmed Africanization Of "Cecilia," Simon Didn't Monkey With The S&G Songs, Most Of Which Came At The End Of The Set.) But Simon Also Toned Down The Brazilian Percussion That Had Dominated The Saints Material And Sang It More Convincingly, So That "Born At The Right Time," For Example, Was Far More Effective Than It Had Been In Its Studio Version. On The Whole, Then, Concert In The Park Managed To Be An Enjoyable And Surprisingly Cohesive Career Summary. more

Songs From The Capeman
Used - Vinyl - 1-46814
Rare 1997 Original With Custom Sticker On The Shrink Wrap And Lyric Insert. Cut By Robert Ludwig At Gateway. Songs From The Capeman is a unique album by Paul Simon, released in 1997. The album is based on the Broadway musical The Capeman, which tells the story of Salvador Agron, a Puerto Rican gang member who was convicted of murder in the 1950s. Simon was inspired to write the musical after reading an article about Agron in The New York Times. The album features a mix of Latin and doo-wop-inspired songs, as well as spoken word interludes that help to tell the story of Agron's life. The album received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising Simon's ability to incorporate Latin rhythms and others criticizing the album for being too disjointed. Despite the mixed critical reception, Songs From The Capeman is a must-listen for fans of Paul Simon and Broadway musicals. The album is a departure from Simon's earlier work, focusing more on storytelling and incorporating a wider range of musical styles. The songs are catchy and toe-tapping, with memorable hooks and lyrics that will stay with you long after you've finished listening. Whether you're a fan of Latin music or doo-wop, Songs From The Capeman is sure to entertain and leave you wanting more. more

"The Third New Studio Album Of Paul Simon's Post-Simon & Garfunkel Career Was A Musical And Lyrical Change Of Pace From His First Two, Paul Simon And There Goes Rhymin' Simon. Where Simon Had Taken An Eclectic Approach Before, Delving Into A Variety Of Musical Styles And Recording All Over The World, Still Crazy Found Him Working For The Most Part With A Group Of Jazz-Pop New York Session Players, Though He Did Do A Couple Of Tracks ("My Little Town" And "Still Crazy After All These Years") With The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section That Had Appeared On Rhymin' Simon And Another ("Gone At Last") Returned To The Gospel Style Of Earlier Songs Like "Loves Me Like A Rock." Of Course, "My Little Town" Also Marked A Return To Working With Art Garfunkel, And Another Top Ten Entry For S&G. But The Overall Feel Of Still Crazy Was Of A Jazzy Style Subtly Augmented With Strings And Horns. Perhaps More Striking, However, Was Simon's Lyrical Approach. Where Rhymin' Simon Was The Work Of A Confident Family Man, Still Crazy Came Off As A Post-Divorce Album, Its Songs Reeking Of Smug Self-Satisfaction And Romantic Disillusionment. At Their Best, Such Sentiments Were Undercut By Humor And Made Palatable By Musical Hooks, As On "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," Which Became The Biggest Solo Hit Of Simon's Career. But Elsewhere, As On "Have A Good Time," The Singer's Cynicism Seemed Unearned. Still, As Out Of Sorts As Simon May Have Been, He Was Never More In Tune With His Audience: Still Crazy Topped The Charts, Spawned Four Top 40 Hits, And Won Grammys For Song Of The Year And Best Vocal Performance."

Still Crazy After All These Years
Used - Vinyl - PC 33540
1975 US original with custom card inner sleeve. Deadwax shows this is a mixed-plant pressing (Santa Maria & Terre Haute). Strong VG+."The third new studio album of Paul Simon's post-Simon & Garfunkel career was a musical and lyrical change of pace from his first two, Paul Simon and There Goes Rhymin' Simon. Where Simon had taken an eclectic approach before, delving into a variety of musical styles and recording all over the world, Still Crazy found him working for the most part with a group of jazz-pop New York session players, though he did do a couple of tracks ("My Little Town" and "Still Crazy After All These Years") with the Muscle Shoals rhythm section that had appeared on Rhymin' Simon and another ("Gone at Last") returned to the gospel style of earlier songs like "Loves Me Like a Rock." Of course, "My Little Town" also marked a return to working with Art Garfunkel, and another Top Ten entry for S&G. But the overall feel of Still Crazy was of a jazzy style subtly augmented with strings and horns. Perhaps more striking, however, was Simon's lyrical approach. Where Rhymin' Simon was the work of a confident family man, Still Crazy came off as a post-divorce album, its songs reeking of smug self-satisfaction and romantic disillusionment. At their best, such sentiments were undercut by humor and made palatable by musical hooks, as on "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," which became the biggest solo hit of Simon's career. But elsewhere, as on "Have a Good Time," the singer's cynicism seemed unearned. Still, as out of sorts as Simon may have been, he was never more in tune with his audience: Still Crazy topped the charts, spawned four Top 40 hits, and won Grammys for Song of the Year and Best Vocal Performance."

Stranger To Stranger
New - Vinyl - CRE-39781
Sealed 2016 180gm Original. Paul Simon's 13th Solo Album. ""The Werewolf" Opens Stranger To Stranger, Paul Simon's Thirteenth Solo Studio Album, With A Heavy Rhythmic Thud -- Bass, Drums, And Maracas Lumbering Along In A Modified Bo Diddley Beat Not A Far Cry From The Who's "Slip Kid." Simon Isn't Looking To The Past, Though: He's Writing Toward An Inevitable Sunset, Mindful Of Mortality -- Just Like He Was On 2011's So Beautiful Or So What -- But He's Firmly Grounded In A Tumultuous Present, Embracing All The Cut-And-Paste Contradictions Endemic To The Digital Age. With The Exception Of A Pair Of Hushed Acoustic Numbers And The Expansive Title Track, All Positioned To Provide Necessary Pressure Relief From The Density Of The Rest Of The Record, Stranger To Stranger Feels Built From The Rhythm Up, A Tactic Familiar To Simon Since 1986's Graceland. Unlike The Easy Gait Of Graceland, The Words Here Are Clipped And Rushed, Sliding In With The Bustle Of The Rhythm. It's Not That The Songs Aren't Melodic -- Hooks Arrive In Snatches, Sometimes Forming Through The Rhythms Themselves -- But The Tracks Are Cloistered And Colorful, Accentuated By Traces Of Gospel And Doo Wop; There's Even An Apparent "Love Is Strange" Sample. Echoes Of Tradition Existing Within This Modern Framework Are Telling, Underscoring How Simon Is Making Music Where The Past Is Ever-Present But Not Consuming: He's Shifted His Aesthetic To Mirror His Times, A Tactic Common In His Solo Career. In Many Ways, Stranger To Stranger Is As Bracing And Ambitious As Surprise, His 2006 Collaboration With Producer Brian Eno -- This Is Especially True Of Its Opening Triptych, All Created With Italian Dance Musician Clap! Clap! -- But The Tenor Of This Album Is Different. Where The Specter Of 9/11 Hung Heavily Over Surprise, Simon Seems At Peace On Stranger To Stranger, Acknowledging The Twilight Yet Not Running Toward It Because There's So Much To Experience In The Moment. He's Choosing To Push Forward, Not Look Back, And The Results Are Invigorating." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine. more

You're The One
New Import - 9362 47844-1
Sealed 2000 German Import Vinyl Rarity With Custom Inner Sleeve. Includes inner sleeve. The disaster of Songs from the Capeman hit Paul Simon particularly hard, so he decided to quickly record a new album, his first proper collection of songs since 1990's The Rhythm of the Saints -- his first album in ten years, really. Nevertheless, if this album has a relative, it's 1982's Hearts and Bones, since it's a deliberately low-key, insular record, especially when compared to the sweeping world beat explorations of Graceland and Rhythm. But where Hearts and Bones was a singer/songwriter album, no two ways about it, You're the One illustrates the influence of its predecessors, but it's not showy about it. The African and South American rhythms are as much a foundation of Simon's music as folk is, and his compositions reflect it, boasting surprisingly tricky rhythms that carry through to his melodies themselves. That, combined with Simon's determination to meet aging head-on, makes You're the One a bit of an acquired taste, especially since its compositions are never overtly accessible and melodic -- they're all tone poems, driven as much by tone and lyric as song itself. This all results in a record that may be a little too deliberately low-key and elliptical for most tastes, especially since it demands full concentration even from serious fans. But this does reward close listening, and even if it doesn't shine as brilliantly as Hearts and Bones (his most under appreciated record), it does share some similarities in that it's an unassumingly intellectual record that feels like it was made without an audience in mind. Which means it's more interesting than successful, but interesting can have its own rewards. allmusic.com - Stephen Thomas Erlewine more
