Paul Simon – The Paul Simon Songbook (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Before Simon & Garfunkel became arena-filling folk-pop icons, a twenty-three-year-old Paul Simon sat alone in a London studio with a single microphone and recorded the songs that would define his early artistic identity. Several of these spare, unadorned performances, including early versions of "The Sound of Silence" and "Kathy's Song," reveal a songwriter still finding his voice, making this a rare document of a genius at the very beginning.
Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. The Paul Simon Songbook is the first solo studio album by Paul Simon. It was recorded in London and released in the UK in 1965 and was supposedly deleted in 1979 at Simon's request. Simon recorded the album at Levy's Recording Studio, 73 New Bond Street, London, over several dates in June 1965. Most of the songs required several takes. He only had one microphone for both his voice and his guitar. Paul Simon's musical career has spanned seven decades, with his fame and commercial success beginning as half of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, formed in 1964 with Art Garfunkel. The duo split up in 1970 at the height of their popularity and Simon began a successful solo career.
