'Lyrics 1964-2008'. The album was released along with the single "I Am a Rock"/"Leaves That Are Green", CBS 201797. Artwork and notes Simon's 1965 liner notes to the album comment of the songs that "there are some I would not write today", but that they "played a role in the transition" to his position as a musician at that time. The album cover shows Simon and his then-girlfriend, Kathy Chitty, sitting on "narrow streets of cobblestone" in London, the city Simon had adopted as his home, and holding wooden figurines. In the 1970s, the album art was altered: the picture of Simon and Chitty was flipped horizontally, and the red script-like lettering eliminated in favor of an album title in white block print at the top. Subsequent history The album was released in the US by Columbia very briefly in 1969, but was recalled within a few days when Simon objected. It was re-released in 1981 on a Columbia LP in the "Collected Works" boxed set, and in 2004 by Columbia/Legacy on CD. The CD features two bonus tracks, alternative versions of "I Am a Rock" and "A Church is Burning" which were not part of the 1965 LP release. The mono version was released on CD. The lyrics for the anti-war song "The Side of a Hill" were incorporated into the Simon & Garfunkel arrangement of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" on Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Later in 1965 and in early 1966, following the success in the US of "The Sound of Silence" as a single, Simon & Garfunkel re-recorded several of the songs featured on The Paul Simon Songbook and released them on their albums Sounds of Silence and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Track listing * "Paul Kane" was a pseudonym used by Simon at this time, because of his fondness for the film Citizen Kane.
