I know this was discussed a few years ago when Mike Harding played some tracks from Paul's 1965 '5 to 10' radio session, and a couple were played in the 1991 documentary series, but does anyone know for sure the full list of songs recorded for the show? I have a recording of 'Bad News Feeling' but no intro, and want to know if it was definitely one from this show. Anyone know if Bad News was ever played/recorded anywhere else? And has anyone heard Blessed from this session?

Peter I have only listened to 6 songs from the Five to Ten Series. Not too sure about Bad News Feeling being played on there. It just sounds very different to the other recordings . There was a demo disc of it. Maybe that is what I have listened to. I did have a comment on one of my you tube videos from the series from a lady who was on the show with Paul and she said she had a reel of the recordings, Just replied to see if she had any more info.

Thanks, Brenda, very interesting. I hadn't seen an image of that demo disc before.

Do you (or anyone) know if there are any links to the full Five to Ten take of 'He Was My Brother' - I have an intro and start to the song, but can't find it complete.

And was 'Blessed' played on the show? From what I can work out there were actually only ten songs (I know Judith Piepe says 12 on one radio doc)?

Peter, I believe there may have been 12 songs but can really only verify 10. According to the archives on line of the BBC Radio Times Light Program the following were played .
1 8 Mar 1965 "He Was My Brother "
2 9 March 1965 "A Church Is Burning"
3 10 Mar 1965 "On The Side Of A Hill"
4 11 Mar 1965 "Little Sparrow"
5 1 May 1965 "Sound of Silence "
6 8 May 1965 "I Am A Rock"
7 15 May 1965 "A Most Peculiar Man"
8 22 May 1965 "Bleecker Street'

They also show 4 more dates of Paul songs on the 19 20 21 22 July 1965 but sadly the only info on there is "Paul Simon Sings "

Kathy's Song and "April Come She Will " have also been among the lost tapes found and played again by the BBC. Not sure what the other two songs would have been. sorry I do not have a recording from Five to Ten of "He was My Brother" . only haver songs 5 6 7 and 8 "April Come She Will" and "Kathy's Song"

The only other songs I have are the 5 Paul and Art sang on BBC radio 27 July 1965 (also Paul played part of Anji)
