BOX SET - 1964 / 1993 and Paul Simon Anthology

 

 

This 2 Disc set includes Simon’s greatest hits with the duo Simon & Garfunkel plus highlights from his solo work. Disc One includes the old classics from the 1960s like Sound Of Silence, El Condor Pasa and Cecilia, plus his 70s solo hits like the reggae ditties Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard and Mother And Child Reunion and other hits like the impressive American Tune and the fun hit 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. Disc Two draws from his masterpiece Graceland and the post-Graceland albums. Here my favourites include Boy In The Bubble, Uner African Skies and You Can Call Me Al but othersmore… like Further To Fly are also beautiful. The anthology is a great compilation of his best known and commercially most successful songs.
