26.Jul.2010 Paul Simon back with Sony – Official?

We’ve heard rumours for a while about the imminent return of Paul Simon’s albums to Sony (he’s been with Warner since One-Trick Pony). Rumours heated up when Simon’s music disappeared from iTunes.

Well, the solo albums are back online, and the copyright info refers to a license to Sony Entertainment. While this will unlikely affect much – it will make it possible for Simon to issue compilations that include Simon & Garfunkel recordings – let’s hope a new album, released on the Sony label, is on the way soon.

    I wonder if it might also mean a DVD release of Paul Simon’s Concert in the Park is possible. On the Wikipedia page for that event, it speculates the reason behind the lack of DVD release is a contract between Pioneer (who presumably recorded it and released the CD and VHS) and Warner, limiting the release on new formats by Pioneer of artists signed to Warner. Maybe, just maybe, it might now be possible to release it on DVD.

    Good question. I fear the CITP DVD release might be lost in a dustbin somewhere. Who’d have thought that we’d see a Live at the Tower DVD release prior to the ’91 classic. Ah well.
