A quick heads-up thanks to our friends at Pause & Play: Columbia/Legacy has set April 12 as a release date for the first batch of Paul Simon reissues.

Simon’s catalogue, it was announced last year, will return to Columbia after Simon left them for Warner Bros. in the 1970s. Simon’s newest LP, So Beautiful or So What, is due out on Concord the same day, while a deluxe edition of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water is out in March, also from Columbia/Legacy.

The reissues will be drawn from the same remasters as Rhino’s 2004 catalogue overhaul but will feature new bonus tracks. As for the titles in the first batch? It’s Paul Simon (1972), There Goes Rhymin’ Simon (1973), Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin’ (1974), Still Crazy After All These Years (1975) and Graceland (1986).

Stay tuned for more info, which must surely be coming soon.

    I’m particularly glad to see “Live Rhymin'” in the first batch, as it wasn’t remastered by Rhino and presumably will be by Sony. Previously unreleased bonus material from the concert would be the cherry on top of the sundae!

    I’ve always hoped that, one day, S&G’s Central Park concert would get reissued with the FULL concert included. “The Late Great Johnny Ace,” and the reprise of “Late In the Evening” (which ended the show)… You can get the full show on DVD, but not on CD.

      Count me in for that, Shaun! Perhaps a remastered and expanded edition is more likely than ever as a result of the new deal and Columbia/Legacy controlling the entire S&G catalogue.

    Well, since they’re the same masters, I’ll be keeping my Warner remaster box and, um, “finding” the new bonus tracks…
