Here's what appears to be an exhaustive Silverstein discography, thanks
to one Barbara Swetman, who mailed it to me, for some reason.  I'm posting
it at her request, only very slightly reformatted.

Incidentally, the way I read this, it looks like _all_ of Dr. Hook's songs
were by Silverstein.  This makes me wonder if he was actually a member of
the group.  Does anyone know?

Anyway, here it is.

Here's a very quickly captured and edited list from a library database of
recordings with Silverstein's name as an access point (that's librareese
for author, composer, performer or making any other contribution the
cataloger thinks you might want to know about) There were a lot of
control codes & I hope I have deleted all, but since I probably missed
some odd letters are probably the result. "1 sound disc digital" means
a CD. I only tried to capture one record per title so some of these may
also have been issued in other formats, there may also be duplicates
because of different interpretations of titles. The limitations of libray
collections in terms of popular music and cataloging that may not cover
pre mid-70's items means this is only a start.
