He usually would not allow his poems and stories to be published unless he could choose the type, size, shape, color, and quality of the paper. Being a book collector, he took seriously the feel of the paper, the look of the book, the fonts, and the binding. Most of his books did not have paperback editions because he did not want his work to be diminished in any way. Silverstein's estate continues to control copyright permissions on his work and has blocked the quotations of that work in at least one biographical treatment.<ref name="Thomas 2013" /> ===Albums=== * ''Hairy Jazz'' ([[Elektra Records]]) (1959) * ''Inside Folk Songs'' ([[Atlantic Records]]) (1962) * ''Shel Silverstein's Stag Party'' (Crestview Records) (1963) * ''I'm So Good That I Don't Have to Brag'' ([[Cadet Records]]) (1965) * ''Drain My Brain'' (Cadet Records) (1967) * ''Boy Named Sue and Other Country Songs'' ([[RCA Records]]) (1969) * ''[[Ned Kelly (soundtrack)|Ned Kelly]]'' (United Artists) (1970) film soundtrack * ''[[Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?]]'' ([[Columbia Records|Columbia]]/[[Sony Music Entertainment|CBS Records]]) (1971) film soundtrack * ''[[Freakin' at the Freakers Ball]]'' (Columbia/CBS Records) (1972) * ''Crouchin' on the Outside'' ([[Janus Records]]), collection of ''I'm So Good...'' and ''Drain My Brain'' (1973) * ''Songs and Stories'' ([[Casablanca Records|Parachute Records]]) (1978) * ''The Great Conch Train Robbery'' ([[Flying Fish Records]]) (1980) * ''[[Where the Sidewalk Ends#Audio editions|Where the Sidewalk Ends]]'' (Columbia/CBS Records) (1984) * ''A Light In the Attic'' (Columbia/CBS Records) (1985) * ''Underwater Land'' (with Pat Dailey) (Olympia Records) (2002, released posthumously) * ''The Best of Shel Silverstein: His Words His Songs His Friends'' ([[Legacy Recordings|Legacy]]/Columbia/[[Sony BMG Music Entertainment]]) (2005, released posthumously)
