PAUL SIMON - GRACELAND - VINYL LP - Wah Wah Records
$45

The seventh and arguably his best solo record- certainly his most commercially successful. Released in 1986, and heavily influenced by African music and jazz, he recorded in South Africa with South African musicians. It still has his poetry and it has 'You can call me Al' and the often overlooked track 'Homeless" which is my favourite. A classic.
