31180_8

PAUL SIMON LIVE RECORDING 1965. A cassette tape containing approx 39 minutes of a recording made of Paul Simon performing live at Brentwood Folk Club in the summer of 1965. Local radio broadcaster Dennis Rookard made the recording with the permission of Paul Simon, and later in his life made a copy to present to the current vendor on their 40th birthday.

The tracklist runs as follows:

Old Blue,
What Did You Learn at School Today,
George Crumpet,
Daddy’s Taking Us To The Zoo Tomorrow,
Leaves That Are Green,
You Can Tell The World,
Bingo,
Children,
Go Where I Send Thee,
Man of Constant Sorrow,
Autumn to May,
The Sound of Silence.

The recording captures well the atmosphere of the busy club, and is of decent quality considering the technical limitations. The cassette is sold with a hand signed letter sent circa 1996 from Dennis Rookard to the current vendor detailing his gift of the cassette.

It is on auction at a starting price of 700 GBP.
