Legacy Sets Simon to Rhymin' for June 7

May 26, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Legacy has finally set a date for their new batch of Paul Simon reissues. New editions of Paul Simon, There Goes Rhymin' Simon, Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin' and Still Crazy After All These Years are coming out surprisingly soon, on June 7, according to a press release issued today.

Many have speculated on these reissues ever since Simon's solo catalogue was licensed back to Columbia last year (where they were originally released) after years of existing in Warner Bros.' catalogue. The constant question is simple: what's going to be different? The answer? Not much. The three studio albums will boast the same mastering and bonus tracks as the expanded editions released by Rhino in 2004. The major addition is, of course, Live Rhymin'. The album was not reissued by Rhino last time around, and this release includes two previously unreleased live cuts.

One would expect, as the year continues, further reissues of the Paul Simon catalogue. Whether those sets are different or not, in terms of content, packaging or mastering, remain to be seen.

Hit the jump for the full discographical breakdown.

    Since Paul's new releases will be on Hear, I hope that Sony Legacy will also release these as a "Complete Album Collection" box set.

      You could probably find the Rhino version of the Complete Studio Recordings box used for a decent price if you search. Same masterings, same bonus tracks that would be on any Columbia box...

    I'm pleased that the live album will finally get upgraded and expanded. It was one of my favorite live albums while I was in high school. Worth the price of admission if only for the extra verse in "The Boxer". Excellent.

      Is that the same added verse S&G sang on the Central Park concert? I always liked that addition. They also sang the extra verse during their mini set on the second episode ever of SNL.

      I've never heard Live Rhymin'... I think I let the song by the Jessy Dixon Singers scare me off. I like them adding backing vocals to songs like "Loves Me Like a Rock," but I probably don't need to hear them proselytizing. I guess that's easy enough to skip on CD.

    By the way, for anyone that's never heard the whole thing, Paul's first solo album is STUNNING. You know the two big hits, but the rest of the album is a must-listen too. "Duncan," "Papa Hobo," "Peace Like a River"... Fantastic. Highly recommended.
