  • Paul Simon — Paul Simon (1972) (post-1970 solo debut is essential for his solo catalog).
• 1970s–1980s (classic solo career)
  • There Goes Rhymin’ Simon (1973)
  • Still Crazy After All These Years (1975)
  • One-Trick Pony (1980) [soundtrack]
  • Hearts and Bones (1983)
• 1986–1990s (world-music era)
  • Graceland (1986) — major album; many remasters and expanded editions.

1997: Songs from The Capeman (and 1998’s The Capeman Broadway)

Key tracks: Trailways Bus, Born in Puerto Rico

Unfairly maligned. The hi-res 96/24 edition (available as a download from 7digital) brings out Marc Anthony’s vocals and the Latin jazz horn sections. Essential for completeness. Paul Simon Discography (1965-2023) FLAC 88

4.3 ProStudioMasters

• Specializes in high-resolution; often carries the 88.2 kHz transfers from Analog Productions.

2.3 Bit Depth: 24-bit Dynamic Range

Combined with 88.2 kHz sampling, 24-bit depth provides 144 dB of dynamic range—far exceeding any physical playback environment. This is critical for Simon’s quieter moments (the whispered bridge of “The Sound of Silence”) and explosive peaks (the horn section in “Late in the Evening”).

In 16-bit, the noise floor intrudes on pianissimo passages. At 24-bit, you hear the room tone of the studio.

“Better” – What does it mean in context?

In private trackers (RED, OPS) or Usenet/NZB groups, “88 better” could mean: The Paul Simon (1965)

• Better mastering (e.g., 2011 Remaster vs. 2004)
• Better dynamic range (DR score >12)
• Better source (e.g., MFSL gold CD ripped to 88.2 FLAC)
• Better tagging/cue sheets/artwork

Practical buying checklist

1. Confirm vendor legitimacy (official label store, Qobuz, HDtracks, Bandcamp).
2. Check file specs (FLAC, 24-bit, 88.2 kHz or higher).
3. Prefer releases that cite use of original analog master tapes or new high-resolution transfers.
4. Inspect sample rate/bit depth locally after download (MediaInfo/foobar2000).
5. If possible, compare different releases (original remaster vs. reissue) by listening for clarity, imaging, and absence of harsh mastering.

4.4 Acoustic Sounds (SuperHiRez)

• Direct downloads of Neil Young’s Pono catalog – many Paul Simon 88.2 editions available.
