~ Release by Paul Simon (see all versions of this release, 44 available)
Annotation
Discs were pressed until 1994 (no mould SID), very likely before or about 1990, when the plant was acquired by WEA International (still no Warner mould logo).
Represses have a Warner "Big W" logo in the transparent hub area and a Mould SID (1994+).
Packaged in a standard Warner embossed jewel case with a black tray. 16-page booklet with lyrics.
