I just bought the Hearts And Bones CD with bonus tracks from Amazon. The insert book and all were there and in perfect condition. I wanted it to complete my Paul Simon Collection. The track listing seems to have a typo. It reads "Tink Too Much (b)". Has anyone else seen this?

It´s not a misprint. Paul Simon has had a number of physical problems over the years that affected his songwriting. Most fans are aware that calcium deposits on his hand forced him to try a new way of songwriting where he would record the backing tracks before he had written a song because he couldn´t play guitar so easily. Not so well known was Paul´s affliction with polyuria, an unfortunate condition in which the body secretes excessive amounts of urine. "Tink Too Much" was written during this period of "tinking" too much.

And yes, if you bothered to read this ridiculous post in its entirety, that was supposed to be a joke.

Not very helpful and not very funny.

Tink Too Much - seems like the problem is not Pauls, rather it is Columbia Tinkering Too Much with the re-release.

I agree. It is a Reissue according from Warner Music Group. Just seems odd that it is not noted anywhere. I was wondering if it was the a very good pirated copy. All else appear to as it should. The booklet feels like the right texture and there are not typos in it.
