## About <!--about-->
Songs for Silverman is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Ben Folds, released by Epic Records in April 2005; it reached number 13 on the Billboard 200.[^wiki] This barcode is the US DualDisc edition, catalogue number EN 94191: one disc with the eleven-song album on its CD side and, on its DVD-Video side, the album in 5.1 surround, a making-of film and a strings version of "Landed", sold in a clear jewel case with a 16-page booklet.[^discogs] MusicBrainz records the same barcode, catalogue number and track layout.[^mb] Folds produced it with his trio of Jared Reynolds and Lindsay Jamieson, and Sony BMG Music Entertainment is the record company.[^discogs] Amazon.com lists the DualDisc with a publication date of 26 April 2005.[^amazon]
The title comes from Ben Goldman, Folds's A&R representative at Sony BMG; it was altered after the label objected to using his name.[^wiki] "Weird Al" Yankovic sings backing vocals on "Time".[^discogs] Barcodepedia's 2007 page listed the barcode under the same title.[^bp2007]
