According to this advertisment (Daily Mail) Jerry Landis would be performing during a live broadcast at WNTA in Rockford, Illinois, at Pallisades Park.
The single that was released at the time was:
I’d Like To Be (The Lipstick On Your Lips) / Just A boy released on Warwick Records #588
As part of the Record Store Day – campaign Columbia issued this 7″-single by Simon & Garfunkel:
Both versions of Homeward Bound and Leaves That Are Green are MONO-versions
Looks like this Smother Brothers show never made it to TV. Someone any ideas?
The Philadelphia Inquirer of November 9th 1969, mentions an upcoming concert of Simon & Garfunkel on November 23rd at The Miami Beach Auditorium/Convention Hall:

Here’s another nice release from CBS Japan.
As in most countries outside the USA, the first lp by Simon & Garfunkel that was released was the album ” Sounds of Silence”, in 1966. This album was recorded shortly after immense success of ” The sound of silence” which had become a Numer One hit at the end of 1965.
Above pictured is the CBS YS-659-C released In Japan in August 1966.It came with OBI and had a sheet with the lyrics:
CBS LL-894-C released in March 1966
The singles that were released from this album were:
CBS LL-864-C released January 1966: The Sound of silence / We’ve got a groovey thing goin’
LL-894-C released in March 1966: Homeward Bound / Leaves That Are Green
and CBS LL-938-C released in July 1966: I Am A Rock / A Most Peculiar Man
CBS LSS-500-C EP released in September 1966: Simon & Garfunkel – I am a rock
1965-07-26 Highgate Village, Gate House
On August 20th 1965 Paul Simon played at:
Catford Railway Tavern, which is at: Catford, Catford Rd, London SE6 4RE
In Japan many Simon & Garfunkel records were released using the SX 68 system by Sony. I am not technician, but this is what it is about:
” CBS Sony built their cutting system with the Neumann SX-68 head and their own solid state amps and gave the logo “SX-68 Sound” to the record covers.
It was replaced later by SX 68 II and SX 74.
Here’s a release in this series using SX 68 Sound:
SONX 60195 Simon & Garfunkel – Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits II SX68Sound
Tracks
A1 Mrs. Robinson 4:02
A2 For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her 2:04
A3 The Boxer 5:07
A4 The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) 1:43
A5 The Sound Of Silence 3:02
A6 I Am A Rock 2:50
A7 Scarborough Fair / Canticle Composed By – Art Garfunkel 3:08
B1 Homeward Bound 2:30
B2 Bridge Over Troubled Water 4:52
B3 America 3:34
B4 Kathy’s Song 3:16
B5 El Condor Pasa (If I Could) Composed By – Daniel A. Robles, Jorge Milchberg 3:06
B6 Bookends 1:16
B7 Cecilia 2:55
This one was released in 1972. But of course CBS Sony started releasing Simon & Garfunkel albums in 1968/1969. Here are two examples:
All albums come most of the time in so-called gatefold covers with lots of information (like recording dates). And the sound quality is indeed very good.
The Italy-based (?) Festival label used the same cover as SONX 60195 with that same title, but the tracks were not the same:
Probably in December of 1966 CBS in Japan released an album called:
“Last night I had the strangest dream” by Simon and Garfunkel.
This album was released in 1965 in the US as ” Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” The rest of world, at least Europe, had to wait until 1968 for it became available. But here it already is in Japan, late 1966.
The songs are in different sequence as on the original.
Side A:
Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
Bleecker Street
Sparrow
Benedictus
You Can Tell The World
The Sounds of Silence
Side B:
The Times The Are A-changing
Pegg-O
Go tell It On The Mountain
The Sun Is Burning
He Was My Brother
Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.
The album was released with the sketche picture of Simon and Garfunkel, often used on their concertposters in 1966. Not with the usual picture of Simon & Garfunkel in the New York subway.
Released in Japan, CSB YS-711-C
