Simon's Discography



Folks,
Finally my luck ran out!!  Of course, TED in Hyde Park and I'm landlocked
here in the USA and I get my dream to go to London for two weeks paid and TED
show up at MSG. Sometimes life is unfair, oh well. It has taken a while to
get through most the digests. Recently   Dave Shipway

About Simon's discography (I unfortunately missed his shows too... boy my
summer is not going well). Besides the two obvious LPs from the 80's, these
are the 45s that I have in my collection. I am always interested in filling
the gaps as they exist at the moment (these are only his "solo" releases and
do not include such things as Man's Machine etc..).
